Quote: There is anecdotal evidence for the use of linen as armor: the Greeks used it and it was subsequently used in medieval subarmalia.
Hi John,
In early medieval times, wasn't a subarmalis called a "Gambeson" ?
Museum Replicas is now selling them :

(Grr....I forgot about the image restrictions :evil: You can just click the link then)
I wonder if this could be converted into a subarmalis.
