Hole or holes in the Pilos?
#5
I was watching a documentary about Ugoslavia some time ago and in a scene of a modern road with shops I saw a Muslim seller of some felt white cap,exactly the same as the felt pilos!They had exactly the same shape only without the rim.However it is eas to create that rim and secondly,I've seen pilos without that rim in Secunda's The Greek Hoplite,in the painting with the marines.Also,it's in fashion now some women's felt caps that are also exactly the same with the ancient round pilos(for illustrations look also in "The Greek Hoplite).It only needs to take out the decorations that it usually has.I'm thinkin of buying one.Then I'll have to add two leather straps.
Most pilos caps I've seen have indeed one hole.The strap could have been secured if it was tied on the outer part so it couldn't pass through the hole ot it could have a rivet to secure it in the hole.But as long as there have been found helmets with two holes you can go for it
