My uncle works in army surplus. He had leather soles on shoes with the top grain sanded off. My dad bought 38 stacks of 25 shoe soles (most of them about size 16 and all are 3/16 in thick) for $1.20 each stack. After they are died they look almost like normal leather. After they sealed they are like normal leather. I cut them down into uniform strips that are 3.5 x 14 in.
Builders i could really use some help i spent literally 5 hours yesterday to get 14 panels done.
I also could use some inspiration on how to put them together to make armor from them.

I think cost for a 25 piece war skirt is : 1.80 in leather 3 in die 3 in sealant 5 in rivets $12 in supplies!!!!! (ish) + buckles?
sholders would probably only take like 4 panles thats like $0.3 in leather and some strap leather.
No mater what i make it all looks so Roman, i dont know give me some ideas guys

I agree, it looked very Roman. If you have plenty left, and wouldn't mind, I would like to borrow a few. I'm not going to use them, just be able to brainstorm with them and try to get something creative going. At very least I can help pick up the cost for supplies and we can make loaner armor to go with the loaner weapons (Malciah) and loner garb/dress blacks (Myself)

I wonder how many it would take to do what I want to do... and how many are in a stack? Oooh... Tulkas, I might have a task for you unlike any other, and it would be freakin' AWESOME.
