Ave, Carlo,
You have some fascinating facts and figures, I, too, found the Italian website interesting. I just got off the phone 10 minutes ago with an SCA friend who fights in leather plate and I posed the question about leather armor and falling into the water withit on. He shared with me his experience and be darned if Dan wasn't right......it kept him afloat .....long enough to get out of it and swim to the dock. Too forever to find his chest andbackplate.!!
Salve,
Vitruvius............aka Larry Mager
