*sigh* Bjarne, the original poster was either teasing you or ignorant, and my bet's on the teasing. "Kid skin" is the skin of young, immature goats. A reasonable substitute might be chamois, if you can find it. We can buy it here in the US in the automotive care section of some stores, since it's used as a "cloth" with which to dry or polish cars. It's a thin, flexible, and relatively inexpensive leather. I've got some in my stash for the binding of a 16th century corset, and for a trial pair of gloves, if I ever get my head out of the 14th century and back to the 16th..... --Sue in Montana (it's Spring!)
