I don't think I've seen lore for the hempen gear /1.0 RSE aside from a mention somewhere that Highlanders sew talismans into their undergarments, but IIRC the lorebook does have sections on cultural dress for each race which describes the 2.0 RSE. E.g. Lalafell favor loose-fitting clothes and scarves, whereas hyur favoring leather because their native Ilsabard is cooler in climate or something.
Here's a web page I found with the lalafell thing.

Isn't the Midlander hempen set (as worn by Buscarron) already a vest? Or does it dye badly?
