Lorica Squamata closing method

[markusaurelius]

I designed and made mine to close the same way that Muscle cuirass from the period appear to have been, double hoops with ties.

Works very well and is easy to put on. I found it hard to manage threading a buckle/hinge and tongue under the armpits. As you can see I put the tie rings through the second row of scales. Coupled with the authentic looping on itself side border attachment method it is extremely secure.
