A \'new\' look at the linothorax

[Dan Howard]

Yes Dan, the subarmalis is lighter, but still stiffer than something stuffed with fibre.
But not too stiff.
Also the shoulders are made wit h more layers, incorporated, and then outer layers of a canvas type linen. An inner layer of a finer fabric to make it user friendly.
My first one is about 8 years old now..

Sounds good. How many layers did you use in the body and shoulders? Like John I'd love to see some pics. If you only post close-up pics of its construction we wouldn't be able to see its overall shape. 8)

John, try making a lightly padded integrated liner for your mail before making a standalone subarmalis. You'll be surprised by the results. Segmentata needs a separate subarmalis but hamata doesn't.
