[Grumpy Old Dude]

largely depends on your build.

[craigdougo]

just cloths it can wear

I believe the best you can do (unless Greenmage, sellsword, or you have used a feat) is Empire Garb Chain Short and Bracers of Defense plus whatever rings/cloaks etc. you use.

Empire Garb Chain Shirt is something you need to craft,

[craigdougo]

There are exactly 3 types of armor wizard/sorceror can use.
(unless taking subclass/feat/background that gives armor proficiency)

The first time you can find Cloth of the Lightbringer or Sylvan Armor is in the volcano.
(sunken temple, the sarcophagus on the left side area of the map, it is a random +2 armor that is rolled when you enter the map, so often you don't get mage armor from there)
And Empress Chain Garb is crafted from the Slavestone you find doing Bitterroot's Treausre Map. (Have to choose between crafting the armor or Punisher Battleaxe.)

Also if you are a Sorceror and take Raise Shield feat (generally at level 8), you can use a +2 Charisma shield +1 found in a secret room in the crypt in the volcano.

We seriously need some magical cloth in this game, some nice mage robes that might not boost armour but do other stuff.

Our wizards should not be destined to look lame through the whole game or get stuck in armour. Let them look like actual wizards. A hooded robe could be cool too.

There are 2 robes (+the crafted armor), you just don't have a chance of getting one until well into the game...
