This point wais defined within 1938 March guidelines on leather and hemp substitution policies of nearly 400 pages, in which rubberized canvas was identified as a main substitute. For gear that required continued use of leather, it said "Unless the leather is for a load-bearing component, normal use should withstand a minimum tension of 2K and made thinly as practical for its purpose (minimum thickness being 2mm)"

For straps longer than 2 meters, maximum number of joints to be up to 4 points"
