Mykale, a naval battle?

[Giannis K. Hoplite]

Later 4th and 3rd c. BC representations of Persians, including the Alexander sarcophagus and terracotta figurines, as well as the fact that at this time it became fashionable among the Macedonian upper classes (normally cavalrymen) to wear just such double-belted tunics - exactly when we know it became fashionable to imitate Persian costume. At this time Macedonians were living intimately with Persians, and there is no reason to suppose that they didn't know what they were representing (the Persian costume on the Alexander sarcophagus, for instance, is very accurate, including knee-length tunics, leggings, tiaras, and kandyes).

Ruben,double belted chitons appear in greek art at least since middle 5th century. Several of the Athenians on the Parthenon frieze wear them,and if this is the persian chiton,then it had to be already existing in Persia itself!
