Full Withered Leather or something else for my new Druid?

[Loadsamoney]

I already know what gear I want outside of my armor slots:

Oakleaf Scimitar
Crystal Chitin Shield
Frozen Orb
65HP Rings x2
25HP/35Mana Earrings x2

Is it feasible to assemble a full set of Withered Leather, all 13 pieces for the remaining slots, or can I do better than that for cheaper? I'm estimating about 5-6k to assemble a full set of Withered Leather, and it would be used long-term until I'm ready to upgrade to Thurgadin Armor or Planar armor. When/if it gets replaced, likely it would go to a future Cleric or Shaman.

I'm also curious as to what it looks like, if it has a unique graphic or color to it, or if it just looks like normal leather.
