Really? I don't recall Myceneans wearing this classical Greek garment, though linen armor could have existed as it is documented in Egypt and elewhere. I think in the artwork I remember, they wear helmets, kilts, light colored greaves and carry large body shields.
I once experimented with thick felt under Roman metal greaves, and discovered that the felt alone provides a very comfortable and reasonably protective armor.
Felt is made of compressed animal hairs. There can be virtually no question this is what is being discussed.
