Linothorax vs Quilted linen vs spolas
Quote:but the resulting material is not as supple as vegetable-tanned leather.


Tawed leather can be creamy soft. The trick is that you have to beat the crap out of it and work it for a long time. You can also wash out some of the alum and render it progressively more like rawhide. For sheer range of stiffness/softness Alum tawing is great.
