If I'm not mistaken, I think Comerus is refering to the Indian armor that the Spaniards adopted during the conquest of Mexico. It did indeed look like a subarmalis and was VERY effective against arrows. I forgot about that.
The Spaniards even abandoned their metal breast plates in favor of this Indian garment. Sort of reminds me of the Romans adopting their enemies' own technology.
