Need Some Writing Help

[The Glamour Nazi]

I say all capitalized.

[Hi no Seijin]

So, lately I've been working on vampire culture for my writing.  Now, these days, vampires wear leather, probably for Rule of Cool, but I'm wondering if the leather would be effective armour against wooden stakes and small blades.  I'd like to have leather-clad vampires, but only if the leather serves a practical purpose.

Yeah, I probably should have dug this thread up to ask this question.

That would depend on the quality of the leather, I'd assume. It would probably nicely make for light armor, but perhaps only just.

In my opinion, if you're in a situation where you're about to be impaled by a wooden stake, ain't no leather jacket gonna get between you and and your attacker.

[Hi no Seijin]

Well, I don't mean leather jackets.  More like a leather jerkin (or a leather corset for female vampires).
