Sizing of Lorica Segmentata
#3
Thank you Titus, I have now added a signature.

I have done the cardboard mock up using the 'default' pattern on legioxx and while there is plenty of room at the waist, the chest is not quite meeting (let alone overlapping). I have a bit of a 'V' shape going (yay!) ...
39"/99cm chest & 34"/c86cm waist.

I was hoping someone might have advice for sizing the girdle plates such as measure chest using tape measure and add a certain amount for the inflexibility of the metal and overlap required etc.

I have seen it mentioned that all girdle plates should be the same length (apart from left/right difference), but that they can be altered where 'V'-shape is a problem ... no mention of just how much each can be adjusted.

... in short, is there some correlation between girth measurement and girdles lengths?
(I hope this all makes sense?)
