Dan,
In the "Ordinances of Louis XI" where it says: "...the best cloth that has been worn and rendered flexible being the best for this purpose..." do you think it means that these inner layers might be made of old or even discarded clothing? If so, that would have lowered the cost of the armor considerably.
