I'd probably use artificial sinew or heavy thread to attach the leather. Some mail garments are trimmed with rings of bronze (or some yellow non-ferrous metal of unknown composition). This may very well be for simple decoration, or it may be for the attachment of a leather liner or edging as bronze (or some yellow non-ferrous metal of unknown composition) doesn't corrode when it comes into prolonged contact with leather.
Mine too, but what does that have to do with mail? |
I actually have a large spool of artificial sinew around the house somewhere that I'd completely forgotten about (Woohoo!). Thanks for the suggestion, Patrick. :)
As to my other comments, I should have responded to Jean via PM. Sorry. :)
