Parade armor is a product of a sophisticated culture that is capable of producing very protective armors, but chooses to make lighter armor that 'looks good.' This is used for functions such as parades, coronation ceremonies, standing guard in palaces, and so on. For adventurers, parade armor is a level of protection similar to studded leather but which has a little style to it. Parade armor may or may not be available in all campaigns. Parade armor is made of heavy cloth, leather reinforcements that may or may not be visible, and light chainmail reinforcements, which may or may not be visible. Due to this fine construction, parade armor may be constructed from any one of the dweomermetals. Parade armor is often used as a uniform by large and established social organizations, such as governments, churches, martial orders, etc. The clever construction of the armor deadens the noise that leather armors usually make, so wearers do not apply the armor check penalty of parade armor to their Stealth checks.
