I, and a lot of people I know, just put outfits together out of whatever. I see people rp in AF and whatnot or use these boots with a hempen camise and no one really cares.
I, personally, choose not to RP in any main gearsets I.E. Allegan/High Allegan or use a really garish weapon because I just don't think my character would have access to anything that badass or flashy and I do find it a little immersion breaking. It's very obvious when my character is in RP gear vs. PvE gear. Only time I get a little cringy is when I see people rping in like....pretty much the equivalent of a PvE set or bust out a Nexus weapon, etc.
There are exceptions of course like Paladin armor. I've seen folk rp in the Warrior AF you're speaking of and I haven't thought twice. My brain just goes "Hey look, it's a dude in armor."
I don't forsee him running into any issues publically as long as the armor isn't a topic of the RP. xD If it worries you two that much then I would suggest breaking the set up and only using a couple pieces so it's more of an aesthetic thing or getting the Iron Scale Mail as a good looking alternative that is fairly cheap.
