Well, well Ruben. Clear and unequivocal: linen thorakes. How intriguing.
The 360s eh? Most "action" was in the unsettled Peloponnese and the north: Chalcidian League / Macedon. That, of course, ignores Thessaly (Alexander), the fomenting hostilities that lead to the Sacred War and Athens' ongoing obsession with Amphipolis (and erstwhile allies becoming estranged): Greece, situation normal.
Paul B: the cloaks, as with the rest of the equipment, are going to "unarmed citizens who were to be accomplices". It is quite possible that these cloaks were a particular colour so as the partisans were recognised. Think of the modern "revolutions" by colour.
