Just so you guys know that your advice has not gone to waste, I have decided on "Thracianizing" my linothorax once it arrives. I will be a Thracian hoplite. The first layer is made of armour-grade leather (seems to be bullhide, though I'll need to see once it's here) while the two outer layers are linen. The shoulder guards and frill (pteruges, yes?) are also leather. There is also a blue wool trimming on some edges.
What would you guys say about rabbit furs in regards to commonly used Thracian attire? Being a hunter in Canada, I have access to an array of furry critters, so I'd say rabbit isn't the only option, but it is the least expensive to harvest. Or how about sea shells and their ilk? It almost seems like this will take a bit of experimenting.
I also checked out The Beasley. It's wonderful.
