I have been thinking about construction techniques of the linothorax and I pose an idea. Fire at will.
Outer layer of leather, tube and yoke or lamellar ( rawhide possibly )
Then multiple layers of linen on the inside glued together
Finally leather and linen quilted together to prevent material from slipping
If this is completely wrong I understand but I would like to make this myself as I believe this would be very resilient armor.
Also, what was the original Greek term for linothorax. My friend and I have a very good supply of cowhides from a local butcher so something will happen very soon.
