Padded Armour

[tlclark]

Would it be silly to suggest, bearing in mind the comments about padding and stresses on the shoulders and chest, to close the pattern so there is a complete hole, and when folded over it's long enough to double up on the chest?

Yeah, I think that would work. There's any number of patterns that might work.

Hope you don't mind me butchering your pic :?

Heck no! Jim you ARE the photoshop king.

In fact, you could have the 2 halves, left to right, the same (the left half without shoulder pteryges) and this would also give a double layer for the upper body?

OH this is great!! Jim can you do another one of these but put pteruges on both the front and the back? That way if gives you the doubled-up shoulder protection, the extra chest protection AND you have the double layer of pteruges as well. That way the double layer of pteruges is just a natural product of the way the subarmalis is worn.

Hey, could this work for the kilt too? Could the body just be a long rectangle wrapped twice around the body? Sounds crazy but who knows.

Any ideas, or am I crazy.
