Could that simple pattern (Max ones) be made in leather? Have anybody prove that yet?
Purists look away now... no evidence per se but practical application (if, from your avatar you're doing cavalry impressions and interested in leather breeches).
I have made two pairs on this pattern; one in leather and one in a coarse suede as riding a horse on a leather covered saddle in woollen trousers is not an act of war!! (not for long rides and hours in the saddle)
The leather ones squeaked terribly and any Barbarian would hear you coming a mile off; the suede ones gave me a perfect seat on a horse, however, with a nice bit of traction and less prone to stretching for some reason. They wear smooth over time but don't squeak at all.
A bit of tailoring was required to stop too much leather in the waist band but it also added a bit of padding.
