Linothorax vs Quilted linen vs spolas
As said before, layered linen will be rigid and springy if quilted properly even if reinforced with scales. I agree that the illustration could easily be showing the cord in motion while the flap is spinging back up. FWIW scale reinforcements will not allow the shoulder flap to fold behind the back out of the way. They won't flex in that direction unless you remove a couple of rows of scales somewhere at the back of the shoulder and insert some sort of construction that acts like a hinge.
