Quote:However, I recently reviewed the "leather Segmentata" thread (recommended to me by Graham Summer) and I was amazed at how many examples of functional leather armor there were in the archaeological record. I think objections to leather armor are therefore largely arbitrary.I already outlined many examoples of leather armour in this very thread. I can't think of a single example of armour made from FLEXIBLE leather and I can't find any in the segmentata thread.
