Tanks for the comments Idomenea, well,the chiton looks like this for all those reasons i guess. It's linen,and i would even prefer it softer linen than the one i used. The folds have been carefully placed and sewn but they ave to be somewat arranged every time i wear it again. And i wish i had a slave to help me arrange them but i usually don't. Finally the pattern plays a role as i have cut the bottom hem to produce the curves instead of pulling the chiton up.
I don't claim that this is necessarily how they were doing it but i think that it does look like the vases and sculptures. In fact,according to my research such identical chiton constructions existed,but for the sewing also in the waist,that i did for convenience (remember,no slaves) and that is not shown on unbelted chitons.

Last weekend we had our event at Heuneburg with a befriended Thracian Group and Some Celts. Here are some impressions. It was the best event so far, I have to admit :-) ) Let us know what you think.

Danke shoen mein freund!
I honoured to have been with the "haeteroi" the "trivalloi" and the "celts".
I am pleased to say that the members of both groups who endured me as their hoplomachos were fast lerners.
They mastered the basic phanax commands (in a language not their own must be noted) in 15 minutes!
Puts a lot of native Greeks to shame :oops:
Well done lads I am proud to have locked shield with you.
Kind regards
