Why did you misrepresent two articles to claim a precedent for your glued linen armour construction when Sean has shown that they do no such thing?

Layered linen has been used to make armour all over the world for three thousand years. In every instance that construction was quilted. Glue has never been used to make this kind of armour. The precedent you claim doesn't exist.
FWIW I have written a book and it includes textile armour. The wordcount on this subject is significantly less than yours because I attempted to stick to provable facts.
