There's much more a
Vagrant Story-esque feel to that one.
Looking at in-game Basch's potholder, it seems like a piece of padding for that lone spaulder he's got on his left shoulder. Which could make Basch the first-ever FF character to acknowledge the importance of not simply strapping steel plate onto bare skin. I weep for Ashe's arms and legs sometimes...
Though I'm probably a bit spoiled through my experience with historical clothing, armour and combat.
:edit: Apparently
this is some of Yoshida's actual artwork for Ashe and Basch. Interesting.
