I have pulled a huge number of garments for Spanish inventories and there are definitely leather named garments and I am pretty sure at least one was related to cordovano. There are a few though that seem to be related to Moorish terms so may mean a different garment all together. I've been trying to find a way to put it all in to a database, but it's a few thousand pages worth! Also some women owned male garments- possibly saved from a passed spouse or parent but they are listed. Fairly regularly!
Alcega et al really only cared about shell fabrics, not even linings and leather/fur goods were got from other tradespeople which may be why there are none listed in the manuals :)
