Khaire!
I don,t know much on the subject but...
probably, linothorax was of glued linen, oftenly reinforced with metal plates.
Also, i suppose it could be padded in some places[attachment=0:9wnrwzty]<!-- ia0 linothorax.jpg<!-- ia0 [/attachment:9wnrwzty]
here we can see linothorax, probably made of glued linen which is seems to be padded (these "bricks")on the sides.
Also=))) there was a some kind of leather cuirass. For example, here is a book of Chernenko, who describes skythian leather armour some of which is very alike of the linothoraxes depicted (img 5).
