What confuses me is that we do know armour was being custom made. And that it had to fit properly(Xenophon adds to this). First I do not believe that these 25.000 panoplies included helmets and greaves. They may have included shields,spears and I wonder about the thorakes. Could each soldier have given an "order" at least specifying the size he needed? No sign there were sizes in anything greek, not even shoes, but we all know that "one size fits all" equipment is equal to "one size fits none"
