My friend Romilos,
Dan, knows very well what he is talking about armor.
Linen armor is described for Ajax of Oileas the Lokrian king in HomerÂ´s ILIAD. The late discovered bronze age "Theves arsenal" has preserved 15 layers if linen.
Leather armor might be plausible in classical era but it is just speculations, in contrast with linen that is now backed by evidence.
For the effectiveness of linen check the linothorax thread.

Kind regards
