Unknown Centurio Graz museum

Also an interesting Idea. The point is that you have to glue the cover to the metal for proper results. It was not so easy to glue a not porous material at that time...

There are plenty of examples where metal armour is covered by textiles. It is done with stitching around the edge or with patterns of riveting. You need to forget about glue. It was never used to make textile armour and was never used to attach metal to cloth or leather. We know how armour was made. It hasn't changed for thousands of years. There is no need to invent a new method of construction when the methods used on extant examples work perfectly well.
