I know its hard not to keep on a discussion gents but lets focus on actual greek armour artefacts etc..please??:roll:
Has any more been learnt about the apparent similar finds of the "so called" philip of macedon/ vergina curass??
(on felt)
felt rolls about helmets have been known to make metal swords bounce off
felt coats were reported to absorb/ deflect arrows during the crusader era
I knew a man who success fully made a felt scale avenatil (boiled in wax)
I have known some to cheat with T&Y & bronze age style greaves by using glue impregnated felt in the core.
i also have a friend manufacturing thick felt conicalish hats if any are interested
regards
Richard
