Let's approach this differently.
I believe that the common form of armor was leather, and I'm making a set to demonstrate my theory. I propose that Dan make a set that is quilted, and that someone volunteer to make a set glued (*that will use only period glues and materials and stand the 5 days of rain test) and then we all meet up at Marathon, show our work, and test it in a spirit of comradeship.
It may be that we're al correct. It may be that we're all wrong! But if we believe in experimental archeaology, we SHOULD be the people who can figure it out!
