I don't know what the others think about it. I'm not convinced of both of the theories, if convinced means 100% sure. The bulkier a garment is shown at the waist the easier it could be explained as just the chiton.
For me the three warriors in the first picture posted by you and the one in my second picture wear a kind of jerkin, may it be protective or not. Many other pictures are debatable. I have pictures where the upper part could hardly be explained other than being the chiton itself. I only refuse to create a 100% explanation.
Could you say something about the painting with the three warriors (your first picture posted)? From where is the finding, what is presumably shown and what is the time frame?
Btw, I'm happy to reenact a more rural simple peltast who has not to care for complicated nice pleats or the hide of the private parts. :wink:
