So say you have a texture/resource (what even is the difference?) pack and you like everything about it except for this one thing, and there’s another pack that you hate everything about it except for the thing that you don’t like in the first pack, and say it’s armor pieces, specifically leather armor. How to I get rid of everything else that’s not leather armor in one pack and just make it like an overlay?
1. The difference is that a texture pack can only hold textures, while a resource pack can hold more than just textures like .ogg sound files and .json block/item model and blockstates files. (and language files, but who would edit or add new languages?)(Me!)
Back then in 1.5, it wasn't popular to say resource pack yet, because it could only hold textures and sound files, only at 1.8 did the change happen with the addition of item/block model and blockstates files.
2. Why make an overlay out of one? Why not combine them into a personal pack? Take the best from both worlds. (without the ability to ever publish it)

It's actually pretty simple. Take the pack you don't like most of and open it as a .zip file using an archive manager.
Once opened, delete all of the folders for the things you don't want, leaving only what you DO what. In your example, delete everything within the /textures/ folder except for the /item/ folder, and /model/ folder.
Then, within the remaining folders, delete all of the files that you don't want to keep. So in /item/ delete everything that isn't one of the armor icons.
In most cases this will work. In cases where this doesn't work, either you did something wrong with one of the above steps (I hope you made backups) or else the pack is doing something advanced with models or the like and you'll need to actually know how the pack works internally in order to edit it without problems.
Assuming that this all goes according to plan, just stack this newly reduced pack above the one that you do generally like and BOOM! Best of both packs!
I hope that helps you.
(And combining packs for personal use is usually more trouble than its worth. Especially if you intend on upgrading as new versions come out.)
