Go for it. = Shotgun mania
Some people should troll a little less, you're beginning to annoy me...
Ok, in seriousness, the best armour for an archer would be:
Felt Cap
Sarranid Leather Armour
Mail Gauntlets
Rus Cav Boots
But you'd look like an idiot really... The reasoning for these items is because it gives you 8/34/31 armour for 6.3 weight. It's got the best weight to armour ratio that I can find and keeps you below the weight limit.
What I personally use is:
Straw Hat
Leather Jerkin
Mail Gauntlets
Rus Cav Boots
As I have both the gauntlets and the leather jerkin heirloomed it gives me a total of 40 body armour, while the other stuff, having the same, body and hands fully heirloomed, it gives you 45 body armour.
In my opinion, to keep keep with having "good stats & a reasonable look" you're going to want to have the following:
Desert Turban
Sarranid Leather Armour
Mail Gauntlets
Sarranid Leather Boots
This will put you spot on 7 weight therefore not incurring any penalties to your archery wpf, but also give you the following stats without any heirlooms:
Head Armour: 14
Body Armour: 34
Leg Armour: 26
That's as good equipment as I could come up with that is inkeeping with a "look".
For weapons you're probably looking at going with the longbow, hammer & 2 stacks of Bodkin Arrows.
