My suggestion was based on my understanding that in late medieval times some gambesons / aketons were apparently stuffed with straw and was merely there to provide a practical possibility for something someone else had suggested. I see no reason why it would not work but I certainly did not mean to suggest that the ancients would have preferred it as a method over layered textile.
