We have no idea what Greek linen armour looked like. The tube and yoke armour we see in illustrations is more likely to have been made from hide. It is likely that some of their armour was made from linen but there is nothing to say that it must have been of a tube and yoke style. IMO it was made in a very similar manner as a light European jack - 10-15 layers of linen compressed with dense rows of quilting.
