Christian Cameron, who is arming me up, is wearing a woolen chiton which is even lighter than mine, and probably no linen underchiton. I believe the material he is using is as much as mine, but he has sewn the shoulders for a linger length than mine, which allows for less slag, and his chiton is shorter than mine, which results to a smaller kolpos (the overfold of the belt), all of which makes his chiton look narrower than mine. I have to point out that if i had time to try on my cuirass before the event i would have chosen a shorter whiton. The cuirass presses the material close to the body and makes the chiton look longer. But i have receive the cuirass the night before the event. In the photo it is the first time i put on the cuirass with the rest of the reenacting equipment.
The other man wears a narrower chiton, which in fact has armholes in the sides and does not follow the archaic and early classical model in my opinion.
