Hey guys,
so much money for a leather tent... but the problem is that it most probably will not be correctly stitched. The romans used a labor intensive stitch that didn't penetrate the leather layers fully so that the tenst were kind of water proof. I dont think the indians will duplicate this. The ESG did however. if I remember correctly, Their 2 leather tents took about 400 hrs each ( 2 men working on it).
