Ridgeleather now craftable

Ridgeleather is now craftable! Doing so requires the "Ridgeleather Crafting" ability which can be found at your local tanner/leatherworking area, a jug of ridgeleather solution for each piece (sold at the same place, factored into the resulting item's market value), and at least 200 Leatherworking skill.
I deliberated quite a while over how complicated to make the process, but eventually decided to just keep it simple with the requirement of an ability and the extra solution component. Expect some more advanced leather treatment stuff down the line that will involve some new processes to confer various additional properties.
Current ridgeleather crafts are all the heavy armor pieces. Suggestions for other ridgeleather crafts are welcome! I'm already planning to add a few things, like a ridgeleather scroll case and ... whatever those hard leather box-like pouch thingies are. There were a bunch of them in The Other Game and I can never remember what they're called.
I'm also considering a type of medium armor that's essentially brigandine but with ridgeleather plates instead of metal ones. A bit less protection and durability, but then medium armor has a ridgeleather option like heavy does now.
