It could be a connotation thing connected to cuirass and cuir bouilli.

One of the most prominent names for armor in general was "Cuirass", and while it usually is in reference to a breastplate, it was often used for armor in general, and it etymologically comes from French adjacent words for leather, "cuir".

So someone with a prefunctory knowledge of french would see a lot of "leather" around when looking at historical documents and such.
