Quote:How about cuir bouille, although I believe that this may have been a mediaeval technique?Cuir bouilli only works as armour if it is layered over mail, which is how it was always worn in medieval Europe. If you think that Roman musculata was made from cuir bouill, we'd need a sculpture where it is depicted being worn over mail.
