John,
How thick and stiff is the rawhide? Are there ways to compensate for this?
I imagine the doubling works like this
chain mail/raw hide/ padding
with the padding against the interior, right?
the reason I am asking is to inquire if rawhide might be suitable for the construction of a subarmalis or musculata.
