Eva de Carduus Weald:
Hmm well I have a buddy who does absolutely wonderful leather work, he tells me he has leather for armor he was going to make for himself but no longer fights so doesn't want the armor. For me I want it for my guard persona so it doesn't need to be functional per se but I would like it as historically accurate as possible. He tells me if I can provide him with documentation on accuracy, as he too prefers to make accurate, then he will think about making me some. :)
Sir Wolf:
your really not going to find any. honestly i think it wasn't used save for tourney armour in later periods.
Sir William:
I think there's resistance to the idea because there's no widespread historical references to leather harnesses being used, outside of fictional works. The few and far between references there are tend to be incomplete and as a result, of little use to the argument for.
I wish there were extant sources like there are of the metal variety, but there aren't. So far as I know.
Eva de Carduus Weald:
Ah well it was worth a shot, thank you to everyone who replied. I am sure we will work something out. :) Maybe bracers or some such.
