If we are just talking about the padding under the armor, of course it's vital. Any reenactor knows that
I was considering to build the padding directly with the armor, instead of having a separated one from the armour. Or having the two, why not. Some leather or some layers of glued linen on the armor will avoid the brass wires to rub my linen/wool padded jacket (subarmalis). Nothing prevents me to add extra layers of linen / wool to the leather, if I wanted so.
