If you look through RAT it's obvious that leather armour is not dismissed off hand.
What I don't understand is why would you bother to cut leather into strips, have to go through all of the attachment process of the fittings and fixing the parts together, when you could just mould two larger pieces into a two piece musculata and avoid all of that? All it does is emulate the form of a metal seg, but offers far inferior protection in comparison.
I actually own a leather musculata which I know wouldn't do the job anywhere near as good as a metal seg or hamata, or even a metal musculata. But, I now want to try a rawhide musculata which I think is far more practical as body protection.
