Are there any sources stating that dark/black colours existed in Ancient Greek Chitons? I'm looking towards making more of a Rustic chiton, more fitting for a Psiloi slinger rather than a fancy Hoplite.
I'm looking at some cheap Linen warp, wool weft (Linsey-woolsy) fabric in a 2/1 twill weave. 277grams per meter. I say comparatively cheap anyway... at $30 Aud per metre from a Czech guy who makes the fabric himself!
In Rome, this would be more of a funerary colour, hence my asking. I don't want to give the impression that I'm going to a funeral!
