We have evidence of ancient glues.
What evdence we have that glue was used in the textile armotr comnstruction?
Mongols and Indians also used layers of silk and so does thai Polce

Byzantine textile cambadion (known alsoas gambeson) has no glue.
Our armorer knows the vinegars salt haredening recipy mentioned in Byzantine texts.
So we have evidence of working textile armor with out glue and I will repeat myself statimng firmly that I would go to a blade fight wearing this armor. :!:
Who would risk going with the reconstructed glued stuff? :twisted:
Who would brave fire with pine-raisin glued armor ? :twisted: :twisted:
