Hi there,
Just wondering if anyone has any photos, or a nice DIY showing how the heck one can attach sleeves to scale armor. Clearly the evidence from mosaics, frescos etc. show scale armor of the period with at the least Short Sleeves. Has anyone found a reasonable and practical method to create a scale shirt with short sleeves? I've heard of "lacing" them to the armor, but again don't know how practical that would be.....or authentic.
Could you simply continue the scales from the shoulder down the arm some how?
