Quote:I deliberately used the term "textile armour" - whether it was linen,leather (or some other textile? we just don't know! )Is leather the same as textile?
A word of caution regarding this discussion.
A good discussion can always be an enthusiastic discussion, and those who know me also know that my temper flares at times.. :roll:
Paul, you wrote: "but I would prefer not to use inflammatory language."
However, when I read statements such as:
- Apparently some members of RAT can't read properly, or else don't understand what they read
- As someone remarked, he is as constant as the tide.....
I think you should stick more to your own words, lest this discussion gets out of hand and people refuse to discuss the issue at hand.
