Linothorax vs Quilted linen vs spolas
Well there are certainly several illustrations showing "stiff" shoulder pieces. Possibily not all due to artistic convention.

I have various bits of scale armour. It's something I'm familiar with. I think some treated leather, especially laminated, would stand upright even with the added weight of scales. But the leather may "soften" over time. It comes down to guessing how the leather would be treated. Currently my pteruges are so stiff I can't sit down. And this gentlemen is a major design fault.
