Quote:Travis,
your first conceptual pattern is about exactly how I made my subarmalis the other week but with out the pteruges. I wear a Lorica Hamata and I did not find it necessary to tie or close off the flaps, although I think you might have to with a Lorica Segmentata or a Lorica Musculata.
Awesome!
Could you unfold it flat on the floor and take a picture of it?
Are there any tips/tricks/problems that you had while making it?
How thick was your felt?
I am planning on using several layers of 1/8th inch felt as a core, and then covering it with linen.
