DF Gameplay Questions / Armor questions

I'm trying to figure out if it's really necessary to equip military dwarves with clothing underneath their armor. I know you can get crazy and have like 3 suits of chain mail with 10 cloaks or something, but does it really have an effect?
From reading the wikia, it looks like chain mail is the only way to get armor on the shoulders/upper arm? There's also no eye protection, except maybe cloaks/robes? Is leather or cloth better protection as far as non-metal armor goes? (I assume leather, but I don't see any ranking for the two) Does quality of leather/armor decide how well it protects? If an attack manages to get through the steel high boot somehow, is there really a point to having the dorf wear socks?
