Ave Tasia,
Welcome to the RAT Forum. One thing that may help is if you can, post an image or two of what you have and we can give you some advice as to what is good and what isn't quite so accurate- and why. It's certainly possible that those pieces that aren't so correct can be altered.
Mike is of course quite right that there's no evidence for leather ever being used as armor- everything we know of is either copper alloy (brass/ bronze) or iron, so that's something that will definitely have to be changed.
For any furture acquisitions, the LEGIOXX website has a great section on things to avoid too.
Vale!
Matt
