Some apologists say "How could Joseph known about cotton armor and Nephite clothing?", so I decided to look up what Native attire would look like in the Northeast during his lifetime, and came across this, which is kinda funny, kinda sad, considering people are actually researching BoM stuff as if it's real history:

"I was disappointed when I found out, so I started doing my own research. That research evolved over 15 years to be the expansive project it is today."
"Many BYU productions have also profited from Scanlon's work. In 2003, the Opera Abinidi, in 2006 the play Aida and in 2009 both the play Children of Eden and Macbeth, set in Central America benefited from the expansive research by Scanlon.
"My research in the Bible and Book of Mormon has influenced my approach to most productions," Scanlon said, "I now think more about the historical context of clothing overall."
