>When altering armor, particularly leathers,

Generally speaking, changing material, as long as it's not on the restricted list (hiro bear, etc.) is done all the time.

I can't see any reason you'd have issues.

In continuation to my last question (sorry!) - When you alter armor, is there any flexibility as to what the armor 'appears' as? I've been told that generally a hauberk is a hauberk and a coat is a coat, but what if armor is simply referred to as "leathers" or "some chain"?

Was wondering if altering leathers into something such as [reinforced or not] leather armor, dress, tunic, or gambeson would be allowed? I've asked a few folk ingame and gotten varying replies so thought I'd confirm here.

depends on the alterer, and item, maybe some RP
i've had 'some chain' made into 'chain armor' before.
the merchant might not want to do it, usually its best not to argue with them on those of things.

if you wanted to though, you could argue on something a hauberk you could just split it at the bottom and add leg straps to make it into armor or chain. You might even get an alterer that would agree with you, but maybe didn't have the tools to do that kind of work.
For something like that you might want to seek out an alterer that works specifically in armor(or leather/skinned parts), or one of the ones that seem to do just about everything(like the turnip lady)

With alteration scrolls you can try and the worst that can happen is they say no and you design something else.
