Travis, please bear with me here (no pun intended :lol: ),
But, can't the same be said of these nude Pius statues ? They both look like they belong to a "heroic" genre rather than the typical triumphal types.
Are these not also isolates ? If they are, then why should leather be perceived as being the dominant form of this armor ?
There must be something more that has pushed you more firmly into the leather camp. Just wondering what it is :?
