Leather Cuirass

[Dan Howard]

Now,well,when the Greeks wanted to show thick overgarments,they did it clearly.

This is my problem. You take a couple of examples and extrapolate to say that ALL artists used the same style. All you can say for certain is that THESE artists showed overgarments when they wanted to. Unless you can prove that ALL artists used the same artistic conventions then this line of discussion is a waste of time. Same with so-called leather armour; same with visible stitching; same with undergarments; etc etc. Without supporting evidence from texts or the archaeological record, artistic evidence is worth very little.
