Tweak my T&Y (linothorax/spolas) pattern, ca 500bc

[Giannis K. Hoplite]

I gather that Giannis might not be thrilled about this

Contrary, i rather prefer it when others try the theories i don't believe in.
By the way, i spoke with a leading archaeologist who is responsible for the weapons and armour found in macedonian and is about to publish all the weapons and armour in Vergina, and he told me that there WERE traces of fabric on the outer side of the iron cuirass!
We also know that there have been traces of leather on the inside and small parts of the leather pteryges survived,52 in number. The number we know because of the gold plates that covered the bottom edges of the pteryges.

Seriously,creating a way of inserting temporarily metal plates is a good idea and i eagerly wait for your experiences.
