Linen armor build thread by Todd Feinman
Should've posted this earlier. Todd Feinman is currently working on an Egyptian linen corslet over at the Bronze Age Center. Armors derived from this style may have been worn by Persians (Herodotus I.135) and of course by Egyptians in Achaemenid service; he also proposes that the weaving techniques may be applicable to tube-and-yoke corslets.
