I appreciate that we have spent many enjoyable hours debating linen and it's possible use in the tube and yoke cuirass.
So I hesitate to ask, but what material do people think the perizoma is made of? The patterns on it suggest it is made of similar material to the thick tunics sometimes worn as some sort of light armour.
Has anybody tried making one?
