Quote:The Pteruges are still splitting at the top of my shoulder and separating, flipping over and turning too.
I really think the ancients ran a stitch or something to keep them all in place so that they looked neat, uniform, and together… like on the statues.
Indeed! I don't know about those early ones, but some of our Late Roman statues show almost elbow-length pteruges that cling to the arm! I'm going to use a short sleeve.
