They are fantasy creatures so they would probably operate by different rules. Though yes that makes sense.

I don't like it. The clothes they are wearing are cheap and often use modern fabrics and modern production methods. But even then the shape is still bad bad as well, they also lack coherent styles and the clothes they make don't fit the cultures in question. Armour is bad as well, for similar reasons.

I got a few random pictures to illustrate this.

1. This looks like plastic, the armour itself is bad with it suffering form the error that bad fantasy often makes of having the breast plate impractically large so the wearer would not be able to bend over in it. But also it does not fit the elves in anyway, they are elegant and you see in LOTR that their armour has detail and elegance to it and lacks a solid block like from, the opposite of this. This armour looks like the armour a child would wear if he was dressing up as king Arthur for Halloween.

2. This armour is fine and what they should be basing their designs around. It could work for Numenor or the elves but you would have to pick one.

3. This looks like something from the clothes store my mum shops at. It looks very modern.

4. I have a few issues with this scene in general, it's dumb that is not how people climb and why would she use her dagger for that? But costume wise. Her mail has tattered edges wichi gives a very bad look, the kind of look you would give to a bandit extra not a character we were supposed to look at and recognise. It makes no sense that she is wearing mail and then also plate gauntlets either(particularly not while she is climbing, I can't imagine plate gauntlets would help with dexterity)

5. Her cape is made of cheap modern material with a cheap modern gold print. She is wearing some kind of scale cloth shirt under her scale armour just to give the impression of armour but again, it's just looks cheap. And Scale Armour itself does not fit this culture as I mentioned it should be fluted plate like number 2, it has to give the impression of being above Gondor she look more like an Easterling(a bad one at that).
