I use Derakon's library for a chainmailling source. Great stuff--thorough and easy to follow.[/url]

What's the thickness of leather needed for armor?

12 is the minimum, but you may want to get 14 oz as an average. Leather tends not to be consistant thickness, so the little extra will give you a margin of error in case you come across any anal-retentive armor checkers.

That and it absorbs blows just a little more.
