The armour people wear is usually unique, some are almost works of art.  People normally wear armour in the same period as their persona, but its not uncommon, either for safety or style reasons, to wear armour from another time or geographic area.  Frankly I love the stuff, you slip it on, and suddenly feel almost invulnerable.  A well-fitted harness is comfy enough to sleep in, and I have seen people doing back-flips and summersaults in their armour. 

Apologies if I spell anyone's name wrong, they are not always phonetic afterall...
