Double breasted or center fastening?

[Giannis K. Hoplite]

Hell! Why are there so many vases!? You can never say you have seen them all! And alwasy someone will have seen something you haven't! (thank god) I would imagine though this was meant to be something like Alexanser's knot. Having some decorative(?) or other significance. I mean,surely it's easy anough and much more secure to put two or even three fittings to secure the side!
The hoplite seems very happy to wear it :lol:
