It can be textile armor Gioi. There is a grave stele of a 4th century hoplite in the National Archeology Museum in Athens that shows pteryges under "muscled" armor. It was used as basis for the last plate of Osprey's "Greek hoplite".
That detail of Exekias painted vase probably(?) shows a spollas.
The hoplite is a Skiritan and he is probably more lightly armored than the dead hoplite. I do not have a better pic sorry.
His "gambeson-like" armor(?) was porobaly used in Conolly inrprtation of the Ificrditian.
Kind regards
