Danno´s first image is the one that perhaps promted Mr Segunda to interpret spollas as felt armor but I do not agree with him.
The graments with the many spans are just crude depitctions of the Ionic chiton.
John´s experiment made me overcome my reservations on fleece in summer, but I still belive that the "sheepskin" of the imge is just Ionic chiton.
In my opinion the helmet presented by Hefestus to Athena has golden "royalty" laurel leaves like the ones found on the tomp of Philip.
Same might apply for the Thessalian gentleman geting armed by his squire.
Kind regards
