Elven leather is designed with more mobility and flexibility for the wearer by using over-lapping plates of leather sewn together.
Elven leather is seen to be more flexible than normal leather armor and is highly saught after by rangers and forest folk. One of the main places where a non-elf can acquire such armor is in the town of Tethquendyl.
As-is, Elven Leather armor is always considered Masterwork in terms of its cost: roughly 160 SM
These sets of leather are often given the Concealment or Comfort enchantment
