Landsknecht Guild

I put the history section of the German Wikipedia Leather article into google translate.  The section about the regional divisions of leather production is interesting. 

Prehistory and Roman Empire [edit]
Egypt, 3500 BC

Long before the Christian era were leather goods in Egypt, Mesopotamia and among the Israelites in use. The vegetable tanning process was already in the fourth Millennium BC in ancient Egypt. The sarcophagus of Ti, a wealthy Egyptian who died between about 2850 BC to 2700 BC, one can see scenes with tanners.

In the time of the Roman Empire much leather for the manufacture of the equipment was used by the Roman legionaries. The production was mainly regulated in Rome by a guild of leather skin and sellers from Ostia. The leather trade was one of the reasons for including the Punic Wars, Carthage was a Zwischenhandelsplatz between the markets of North Africa and those of the Mediterranean Sea and thus had a monopoly for the leather trade in Europe and the Mediterranean.

From 3 Century was the leather trade under Roman control. Presumably, southern France and Spain, the production centers of that time. This mainly confirm findings in Botonita (Zaragoza), where large quantities of lime, sulfur and other chemical products were found which were probably used for tanning. In the excavations in Contrebia Belaisca also been evidence for the existence of the leather production from the period between 1 Century BC and the third Century BC found.

Middle Ages to Baroque [edit]

Later, after the fall of the Roman Empire in 476, Charles the Great takes over the legislation on the manufacture of leather and their trade. He shows some products with a tax. In that time, the leather processing relatively coarse and mostly came from a nearby catchment, although in some cases was imported leather, too.

In the Middle Ages, the production of leather in the Near East and North Africa had progressed much further than in Europe, both the quantity and anbetraf also what the quality. It was not until 1749, the first morocco factory was built in Alsace. For the fashion of this time was often imported leather from Siberia.

The production of individual types of leather was reserved in Germany for a long time, each region or town:

    * Sole leather in old Grubengerbung in the Rhineland, particularly in Trier, Malmedy (now Belgium)
    * Schnellgerbung in sole leather in northern Germany, especially in Hamburg
    * Ross Leather in Holstein
    * Patent leather, especially Lackkalbleder in Worms and Mainz
    * Patent leather for car hoods in Mülheim an der Ruhr
    * Fine Wichskalbleder in Barr in Alsace
    * Kipsoberleder in Backnang
    * Colored leather in Offenbach am Main, where the leather goods trade fair will take place today, and in the Taunus
    * Ice cream leather in Berlin, Magdeburg, Altenburg and Munich

The history of leather production is documented in the German Leather Museum in Offenbach.

So, I think we could do parts of it. Soaking, etc, could happen during the weeks? Maybe flesh one or 2, soak others, stretch those near finished. Fur on or off? I don't think we need to make a specific leather, just tan with the fur on.
