In case the pterugae were made of fabric (one layer or two, tablet woven or not), fringes would appear naturally, excluding the necessity for a mid-layer of cloth just for creating them (The fringes, I mean). Perhaps leather was not needed at all, remember the linothorax.
The soumak border stitching at the Prima Porta statue would be really at home on a cloth pterugae, to keep two layers together or just to reinforce the border of a on-layered pteruga...
We are really making steady advances towards a previously unsuspected point!

It\'s all an accident, an accident of hands. Mine, others, all without mind, from one extreme to another, but neither works nor will ever.
