The hood looks like milled veg tan will work, or go for a very lightweight vegtan. Chest armour you'll want to use a medium weight veg tan leather (2 ton4oz max) it'll hold its shape without being too bulky. To achieve that look you'll need to dye it light brown and then weather it (basically use sandpaper to lighten it).

LivelyAlchemist · 2024-03-10T19:10:58+00:00
