Tweak my T&Y (linothorax/spolas) pattern, ca 500bc
#31
Greg -- At this point the shoulder yoke is only attached by the linen interior so it doesn't sit as tightly as it will eventually do. Now the yoke poses almost no restriction at all, irrespective of movement.

When I fasten it through the leather there shouldn't be any problems either as it will be attached in the middle so the shoulder flaps can move freely when pushed back.

I do however plan to leave pockets in parts of the yoke as well as in the chest-piece to try out the notion that t&Y corselets could be augmented with thin metal plates, similar to medieval coats of plates. That should make movements a bit more restricted. I gather that Giannis might not be thrilled about this :-) but it is just so I can try out what has become a pet theory for me. But since I won't permanently attach the plates I could just remove them if it prove too restrictive or inaccurate.
