Quote:I was referring to laminated armour as meaning layered cloth quilted together. The so-called "glued" variety never existed anywhere. It is a modern fabrication with no historical basis.
It certainly does not seem to have much supporting evidence. Quilted armours are relatively common light armour designs (and are also the precursor to every heavier armour type). However, I was referring to the glued version of the armour in my use of 'laminated', as laminated armours have turned up before.
