Lamellar

Body armour made from leather ( Rawhide ) rectangular plates sewn with leader strips in bands onto a fabric backing garment . The benefits are its very light and flexible ( depending on the amount of boiling the leather was subjected to in the manufacturing process ) . The longer the boiling process the harder the leather becomes but the more brittle it is also made ..
