Leather Cuirass Lorica Musculata, I used to think no way but
Quote:I notice how the sash seems to pull in on the leather...especially in this photo:

Nothing's being pulled; it's the hips narrowing up into the waist, and then curving out again to the ribs. This is anatomically shaped armour. If you mean the folds at the front of the armour, that's the Knot of Hercules where the sash is knotted, loops downwards returns back up, and tucks under itself nearer to the sides of the armour.
