1.The fact that the photos I've seen of Marcus' work show armour that looks as if it's been slept in.
2. I suspect Marcus did so, but the creases showed through.
I'm more concerned to produce something that will be very practical for horse-riders than I am in making a set of armours to prove a theory about how armour must have been made.
I'm not aware of any evidence for quilting in these armours ( Classical Greek Linothorakes, C1AD Roman cavalry sports armour); are you?
