I think those might be leather. The Romans often bitched about how the British tribes were barbarians still wearing animal skins lol

Maybe, but that was nearly a thousand years earlier. There were no Scots in Britain when the Romans were here.

Oh lol my bad. I just finished bingeing the Fall of Civilizations series on YouTube and all of human history is one big scrambled mess in my brain now. It all happened in the same year, way back when, basically lol.
