Very interesting and demanding a laudes.
What glue did you use? What kind of linen (weight and structure)? Was it woven with the hand? Could the glueing, as you did it, explain the straight-in-the-air habit of the shoulder flaps?
In the vases with black figure technique much labour was made to show the new composite armour in white (which must not mean plain white in reality), so dyeing it black would be not my first thought. Pink, yellow, red, purple, would that not be better?
