All Known Armour Types
All known armour types, circa 2009 September, can be found here. This lists below correlate the armour types to body slots.
Tested Types
Types marked with * can be made in separate pieces. Some types not marked might also be doable separately, but not yet tested.
List currently shows body sections as tested on a faerie (with firelizard pet), but do use imagination on how they fit on other races. For example, "halfsuit" created for the pet was fully usable on that pet, even though it doesn't have "arms" per se.

Not known
You know of no sort of armour or clothing called a ...
coat, bra(s), bag, thong(s), peignoir, nightgown, slip, petticoat, talisman, jhlethgdar, quulvucmor, kabuto, kimono, cestus, domaru, fascia, hakuto, manica, obi, ti, yoroi, piwafwi, soukougi, tentacle sheath
(Some of the above simply do not exist, but some might be "not known" simply due to lack of skills (armour lore) and/or other knowledge.)
Materials
Skin results from remains that have no natural armour class. It is quick to create armour from (around 13 seconds per suit) and has very small armour class (possibly none at all). It is very lightweight to wear.
Fur is obtained from the remains of furred creatures, and is similar to Skin in time required to create armour from. Some amount of protection from cold is likely, but not tested.
Feather is obtained from the remains of feathered creatures, and is similar to Skin in time required to create armour from.
Hide is tougher and results from remains that have moderate armour class of general type 'Hide'. Worth noting that Hide armor is acceptable for most Maidens of the Spear to wear without penalty.
Nauthpolg (gogtzul hide) and Aikeed (sandworm hide) are a couple of examples of hide obtained from certain races' remains, and may have special properties beyond simple armour class. It takes a moderate amount of time to fashion armour from (around 30 seconds per suit).
Scales is even tougher and results from remains that have high natural armour class of general type 'Scales'. It is slower to create armour from (around 45 seconds per suit).
Chitin results from insect or arachnoid remains that have high natural armour class. It is very slow to fashion armour from (around 180 seconds per suit). While it might provide high protection, currently chitin armour appears to be bugged and has extremely low durability, and tends to fall apart much more quickly. This has been reported as a bug and may be changed in the future.
Skined armours can be chaos/order infused, and generally this will reduce the weight as well as improve armour rating; in the case of chitin armours, it appears to make the result much tougher (possibly removing the Brittle property).
Biocrystal Array
This is an array of kacha columns. This is a biocrystal array, a kind of symbiotic armour. The array embeds itself in the wearer's flesh and draws on the magick in hir blood to protect hir and sustain itself; over time, it expands to cover more and more of the wearer's body. The process of implanting the crystals is simple, if painful and even dangerous; once implanted, they require special procedures to remove. It is permeated by a dim auroric radiance. It is in perfect condition. It is small in size, and looks just about right to fit you. It looks about sixteen dimins tall, about four and seventeen twentieths dimins wide, about one and three fifths dimins long, and less than a twentieth of a dimin thick. It weighs about one and one hundred seventy-three two-hundred-fiftieths dekans. You estimate that it is worth something upward of eight thousand gold.
Wear the biocrystal array to implant it. It will resist removal once implanted. The small kacha biocrystal array was created by Den; the source code was last updated Sat Apr 16 18:01:55 2011. The epidermal armour type was created by Lost Souls; the source code was last updated Wed Apr 27 01:13:55 2011. The material kacha was created by Chaos and Den and is maintained by Lost Souls; the source code was last updated Thu Oct 29 15:22:34 2009.
After a moment, the knowledge that Real Kacha Biocrystal Array is composed of sixty-seven percent kacha and thirty-three percent dweomer drifts into your mind like a long-forgotten memory.
You wear Real Kacha Biocrystal Array embedded in your body. Real Kacha Biocrystal Array embeds itself in your body. The process is incredibly painful. You are mutilated, and you are affected somewhat severely by the attack. You cannot continue meditating because you have been injured. You stop meditating. You feel a bit groggy, coming out of your meditative state. Your right arm is cleft through. Your ocean blue pine wand is torn from your grasp. The strange currents shaping your soul ebb and fade. You drop your ocean blue pine wand. Your tail of articulated ocean blue amber writhes and wavers. Real large golden leather phylactery of the stars is torn from you. You feel less spiritually elevated. Your blue star morning glory is torn from your grasp. Your tail of articulated ocean blue amber twitches, flickers, and dissolves into a cloud of ocean blue sparks that fade into the surrounding air. You have been blinded. The world goes silent. Your body goes numb. You feel sluggish.
According to Zak, a biocrystal array provides about 200 crystal affinity and resistance to cutting, possibly with other benefits.
