I've said this before, but since there are new faces I'll repeat myself. To me the biggest question with glued linen is not that it protects better or worse, this is only one concern with armor and not always the major one at that, but that there be some tradition of glueing linen that the armor makers drew from. Obviously quilting linen has a long history, but I, or someone else for at this point I don't remember, came across glued linen in the construction of masks. Tracing down more about the precursors to glued linen technology would greatly help the arguement.

A Spartan, being asked a question, answered "No." And when the questioner said, "You lie," the Spartan said, "You see, then, that it is stupid of you to ask questions to which you already know the answer!"
