I always thought that alum-tanned leather was not as supple as some other types of tanning... That would seem to be a problem when folding a tent for transport.

And what about resistance to water damage? I think I read somewhere that alum tanning produces a leather which can rot quite easily when left in water, which would not be the best when campaigning during a wet season...

Wouldn't vegetable or brain tanning be a more logical tanning process to use for tent-making leather?
