Quote:It's the same principle as the Thorocomachus, but the construction isn't historically accurate for the Roman period. A Thorocomachus, at least based on the survivind DRB images, was put on and worn like a Roman Tunic.

True, I believe the discussion was that the improvement is the addition of a goatskin layer. Furthermore, I think it says in the text 1-2 fingers thick (so about a centimeter to an inch depending on the finger).
So... Is not correct a gambeson like this, with long sleeves, in this age, isn't it?
Please, is important for me because somebody wants I buy this kind of gambeson, but I think it is not enought accurate... I want to know what is the most accurate gambeson or subarmalis for V and VI century.
Thanks.
