In hot countries you need some insulation from metalic materials in summer.
Dan is right on that. Medical records of the 8th army in Italy and the dessert talk of troopers burned when touching their tanks!!
In my opinon fine linen was for insulation and thic linen for armoring.
Jason mentioned an example of ancient patern but I do not think it was the only patern.
Paul, I should have thought of the ribbs!!!!
Kind regards
