How to Inspect Leather Armor

1. Armor must be worn while it is being checked.
2. Check and make sure the armor conforms to the standards of the Book of War. In particular, make sure that the leather is the proper thickness (3/16").
3. Run your hands along the surface of the armor looking for gaps that may catch fabric or skin. Also check for loose or broken rivets.
