I'd like to see somebody make one of these things that wasn't white. The photos above are excellent - a very nice piece of work. However, I don't believe all troops would have opted for white - particularly Spartans who had an aversion to that colour (associated with women). Therefore, I would proffer that some troops would have dyed these garment another colour on occasion - the Lakedaimonian troops possibly crimson/red to match their chitons etc. Anybody any views on this?
