As I mentioned many times I don't have problems with leather armours, generally speaking, but I have many troubles with leather segmetatas. In the past the discussion raged on polemic tones overall in Italy.
What is written in the D'Amato's book is correct, and (even if I didn't read it by myself) is referred only to generic leather armour.
One of the main supporter of the idea of the leather segmentata is very well known, and they have a fresh new page that welcomes the new revelations:

They show on the right-top corner the British Museum supposed armour, that it seems to me not to be a piece of segmentata because it is a single piece of leather, am I right?
