Leather Technique

Convincing my Gelkis clanmates to put on armor is nigh impossible, despite the numerous losses we have suffered with blades or bolts through the chest.

I have been tasked with designing a vest that offers some reasonable protection, without the supposed 'itchiness' that they complain about. Supplies are scarce, so I dare not waste precious leather on junk.

Outsider, would you bring me a harness fit to a brutish centaur? I would like to learn from your technique.
