I guess what you are saying is that re-enactment reconstruction is not the same as experimental archaeology, do I understand you correctly?
You should be able to get the books from Amazon
Roman Military Clothing 1
Roman Military Clothing 2
and
Roman Military Clothing 3
which was written by Raffaele D'Amato, I just illustrated that one based on evidence supplied by him.
He is working with me now on a much larger publication. So I hope you understand that we cannot put all the arguments and evidence here on this Forum because we havn't the time but the work will be published soon.

Something like "Here´s a theoretical reconstruction of a leather lorica segmentata based on art-historical evidence" would be fine.
I certainly agree with that.
