I haven't found a single pair of bracers without dex or str requirement in 2 playthroughs. Every mage I ever had in my party only wears an enchanted version of the bracers he/she came with. The only exception I've found was the weresheep armor set.
Addiotnaly, late-game clothing headgears seem to be non-existant or very very rare at least (again except for the weresheep set). The same goes for clothing boots. Highest itemlevel I was able to acquire here was 4 or 5.
And finally, staffs or any weapon don't help your damage, healing or buff capabilities at all as a mage.
Seems like the attribute requirement on sarongs is just fair to me. It especially enables battlemages to cap resistances quicker to help them survive and even heal on their own hazards, which is cruicial with spells like self-immolation and explosion around.
Perhaps this is just the price D:OS asks for overly specialized builds. Perhaps they expect ordinary mages to get 8-10 STR/DEX and regular fighters to get 8-10 INT.
