Thanks Robert.
The shoulder section is attached to the main body of the shirt, just the same way that the torso section is. (scales linked with 1mm brass wire then sewn on to the backing with artificial sinew thread). The backing is made of thick linen canvas.
It fastens down the left side with a leather thong. I left a V opening in the back of the collar to allow for putting it on which fastens with a wooden toggle

The leather edging is a must to stop chafing! (Particularly around the arm holes!)
