Oil could help water proof the leather, but it would also make it very flexible and soft. Good for sails and shoes, not so great for armour.
Mlk and cheese could help whiten leather, and also be used to glue several layers together into a laminated armour, an idea I like. But I still find a pure white vegetable tanned leather a hard idea to achieve.
