Are Sleeves of Many Garments and Glamered Armor Essentially the Same Thing?

[Dixie Landoe]

Hi everyone! I've been playing a character who takes special care not to reveal she's wearing +2 fullplate (mainly for aesthetic and diplomatic reasons... it looks kind of scary and unbecoming). I've been using Sleeves of Many Garments thus far to make all her clothing appear as a lovely red dress. Why she's so hard to hit has astounded many a not-so-brilliant enemy. :3

So am I doing it right? I know glamered armor is a thing, but as far as I can tell Sleeves of Many Garments effectively do the same thing, they just take up the Arms slot instead of actually being on the armor. Do they? Should I be using glamered armor to achieve the effect I want? I'd rather spend 200 gold than 2700 gold, that's the only reason I haven't gotten the glamered enchantment yet.

(This is for PF Society, for what it's worth)

No.

The Sleeves outfit you with clothing.

Glamored makes your Armor look like clothing.

Hence the 2500gp difference.

Ah! Well, since you put it that way, it makes sense. All righty, there goes 2500 gold! :P

I thought the same as you originally.

After fronting the 2700gp now everyone wonders why my nearly naked Barbarian is so hard to hit!

Basically, otherwise it looks like she is wearing a lovely red dress over / under +2 full plate. :)
