Presumably someone, at some point, has gone through film history and compiled the various visual signifiers of 'barbarians' (the random furs, lots of leather, facial hair, etc) origins/implications/etc? Don't suppose anyone has bibliography on that handy?

the Romans also wore plenty of leather though, I don't see how it's "quintessentially barbarian"

If you are thinking of the leather bracers, chest-straps and jerkins that show up in TV or film, I'm afraid you've been mislead by Hollywood. Roman clothing was made out of wool and linen. Occasionally silk for the rich. Not very much hide or leather used at all.

yea sandals, straps, belts, satchels. I don't think the idea of taking an animals skin and wearing it was at all foreign to them

Consider what kind of leather and fur is typically associated with barbarism culturally: it's not an elegantly-crafted leather sandal. It's a wolf pelt with the head still attached that somebody poked a hole in and is wearing as a poncho.
