Boiled leather, sometimes called ''cuir bouilli'', was a historical construction material for armour. It consists of thick leather, boiled in water. According to some sources boiled oil and wax were used as well, while others posit the use of ammonia from fermented animal urine. The boiling causes the leather to become harder but also more brittle. The boiled leather can be fashioned into lames or scales to make lamellar or scale armor. The leather remains flexible for a short time after boiling, allowing it to be molded into larger plates. Cuir bouilli has also been employed to bind books. ==External links== *(Water hardened leather for armour ) *(Boiled leather in wax ) *(Cuir Bouilli/Hardened Leather FAQ ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「boiled leather」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
