Well yes, in the main that would be true, but as I said above I have had the experience myself of weapons catching in clothing and being diverted away from the body by the clothing. As I said, clothing would be no defence against direct hits but some glancing blows could be frustrated by clothes. Surely we are not talking of Mediterranean clothing in any case, but Gallic clothing, which was surely not so different fundamentally to the Germanic style of clothing still worn in the tenth century and which I used to wear when fighting.
