Christian,
Which system, lacing or buckles?

Aitor

Aitor,

The eyelets are just punched holes 5mm diameter.

Regards,

Adrian, Christian,

as I am planning to make a subarmalis too, could You post photos of Your solutions, please. :o

I'd say lacing. That is a system we know. Most gladiatorial equipment had a military background, hence I would make the subarmalia similar to the Gladiator textile armor.

Christian,
are you referring to the same kind of lacing as Adrian does? (i.e. criss-crossed through eyelets)

Adrian,
Thus, your subarmalis is made of leather, isn't it? Otherwise, i'd like to know how do you keep your punched eyelets in size 8)

Aitor

mine is only partially finished. I try to put some pics online...
