With regard to leather armor probably the most effective form I know of is the "buff coat." A thick (3mm!) leather jacket over layers of quilted fabric. It was able to turn cuts easily and could possibly have withstood distant musket shots.

There's also this website & forum (one of my favorites) - lots of really good stuff and very informative: http://www.myarmoury.com/home.html
