Something else:
We have one of the very, very few traditional tanneries left here in Augsburg. I was there to pick something up today, and asked the tanner about the qualities of thick rawhide-like alumn-tanned leather, and whether it was at all possible to make something which has the armour-quality of rawhide, but the advantage of being "weatherproof" like leather would be. He said he thinks it is possible and would start an experimental production of 2 cattle hides. This may take a few weeks, though. He´s doing it for free, but any donations are welcome. If you want to share in this project, please contact me.
If it works out, he´s going to produce this stuff in one large go of at least 10 hides, if enough orders come together.
If you are interested, please also let me know, I´ll make a list then, and place the order.
