Featured Picture Leather armour allows exceptional mobility due it it generally being light and flexible. A suit of leather armour allows for a warrior to protect their vitals while retaining their agility. Leather armour was, and still is, made of several layers of leather. Material for historical leather armor was taken as hard and thick as possible - preferably from a buffalo or a camel, as well as bovines. This Cuir bouilli (or boiled leather) provided more protection than simple plain leather. The leather would be boiled in a vat of oil or molten wax. Once the leather has boiled for a while, it would be removed from the pot and formed into the shape the maker wanted, such as a chest plate. Once this was done, the leather would be left to harden and dry. The resulting leather was much lighter than metal and offered good protection from cuts and punctures. One problem with cuir bouilli and other types of leather armor is that is doesn’t last very long and does not do well in bad weather. The armor needed to be keep dry and needed to be oiled regularly. If the soldier did not do this, then the armor would begin to crack and rot. On the other hand, it did not take a lot of skill to repair the armor and a soldier could typically make the repairs himself. He didn’t need to find a skilled armorer the way people who wore plate mail had to. The Princess of the Northern Forests enjoys both leather and Brigandine armour and wears them regularly.
