Glued Linen Armour- a simple test
#12
Well, I have always said my subarmalis reminded me of what I imagined a Linothorax to be, stiff, but also flexible, and it is all quilted and sewn. But I suggest the leather outer shell as a waterproofing layer.
If someone else would like to try the fishglue method, please let me know..... :roll: :wink: :lol:

Yes I can imagine the glue would not last long with out extra elements to reinforce it......

One thing I do recall from greece though was the sun and breeze would dry out your sweat pretty rapidly, even to the point of it seeming as if you did not sweat at all....odd sounding I know.....maybe my fond memories are blotting out the sticky bits.

As to it being fact, well I suppose many have read it as you say and assumned the people who wrote it were speaking fro mevidence and experience. I have had many illusions shattered for sure LOL
