I worked with rawhide quite a lot. You cannot make T&Y thorax out of one piece - he result would be unpossible to put on (rawhide is quite rigid) or, if bended many times to become more flexible
What if you used rawhide and purposefully made permanent bends along the seams of the box-like tube. Would this rended just the seams flexible or would such repeated bending lead to breakage?
Remember as well this armor is tied on around the body, so a tube could be somewhat rigid, in fact it probably helps for it to be so. This holds true for close-stitched quilting as well (thrown in for the sake of parity).
