I think Ivor is right; unless any archaeological evidence shows up for it, there is no point in pursuing the idea further. Flax fiber doesn't easily lend itself to felting, and other methods of armour construction were available, so it makes it an unlikely technique. As we all know, we need more surviving bits of these things...
