This is my latest chiton. It is one piece of woven wool, about 60 inches by 90 inches, woven to order with the stripes woven in (natural black from black sheep).

I didn't have time to pleat carefully. The style I'm wearing can be seen on this image fromt he National Arch. Museum in Athens (early 4th C. BCE) and on the Parthenon friezes.

I believe that the doubled portion on the hips isn't just a fad--it pads the armor very nicely!
