My linothorax is made of glued linen, with a leather core. If I store it flat, the epomides stand up just as in the art and, indeed, Giannis's picture. I do find that it doesn't breathe well, but I find my (unrealistically thin) gambeson doesn't either! I'm thinking of making a new one (linothorax)and sewing it together; I hope it does wick the sweat away.
