I'm not so sure about the idea of a subarmalis being a thicker padded garment under armour for the one I did for the cuirass and indeed Hamata was only a thin leather jacket with its pteruges glued and stitched to the shoulders and waist.
This I think is all this garment would have been in earlier times when Roman soldiers had armour it may have been needed in later times when armour was no longer worn in the 5th century.
