I beg to differ, good Kick. While I know not of Crocodile leather, tanned (cow?) hides cannot withstand the same beating that Mail, Scale, or Plate armors could endure. Also, what type of 'blade' did you use? Blade is a broad term & could mean anything from a pocket knife to a zweihander.

I do know of some forms of armor that are cheaper & equally as effective, though. Look up paper armor. It wasn't used that much, but apparently was a thing. It was from either China or Japan, I forget which. It is A) cheaper than other armors, B) lighter than other armors, & C) more resistant to weapons (Including piercing (like arrows), cutting (sword), & stabbing (dagger, spear) weapons) than other armors. However, it was more vulnerable to blunt weapons, like clubs.
