Was the leather muscled curiass of the later times sexier?
#27
Not to mention that leather, while it may be cut resistant, is quite susceptable to stabing damage with pointy objects. Try poking holes in some 8 oz leather for sewing. If you have a nice sharp awl, it goes right through it with only a bit of pressure. Now imagine that vs a spear tip, or sword tip.

No thanks. I'll stick with plate steel.
