That\'s it, folks... I\'ll have a go at making a linothorax!
#8
I had made some quick visits to the thread before, but have now scoured it thoroughly and found quite some useful information.

My current aim is to create a linothorax consisting of a leather core, with approx. four layers of linen glued and fixed to each side, and the inner layer of pteruges attached to the inside of the linothorax separately.

It may be that my brother, who, at a side note, once was to the UK to re-enact the Battle of Hastings, has some spare leather (he was an avid 'liver' back then, mainly doing fantasy stuff).

some Swedish pancake in a purloined panoply lop their lower limbs off!
