But hoplites also had mini skirts, and some were faggots too.
>>947001
I hate when reenactors make the pteryges so long.
>>945678
You know, I'd love to see a girl wearing that.
The outfit is incredibly cute.
>>947010
I was making it because fuck having them at my dick. I did it more cause I like the armor and wanted it to actually protect more, also to see if there is anything negative about having them long.
>>947020
Well, if we go by the hardened leather theory, then the strips would be really stiff and could make sitting rather uncomfortable. And comfort tends to be just as important as protection in armor design.
Even a quilted or (if you follow that theory) glued linen armor could be pretty stiff.
>>947039
Mine are stiff as hell and I can't sit in a regular chair without them bending but on a stool it is fine. I wager that more protection would be a better trade than sitting

>I wager that more protection would be a better trade than sitting
History seems to think otherwise.
Oh, look, another thread on the Greco Romans
Why can't we have a cool thread about some obscure culture?
Inb4 every other culture is inferior only my arbitrary and generic definition of whites can make a culture worth studying
>>947052
Well the armor was very open to individual design on decoration and very design. Scales, being single vs double breasted, being one piece or multiple rectangles, one or two rows of pteryges. Somebody out there probably made one a bit longer or so

It'll only get 1 or 2 replies if I'm lucky before floating down and getting pruned while the religious threads get autosaged in under an hour

Rome>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Greece

Everything must come to an end sooner or later
As a Greek myself,I have to admit:
-The above clothing you see: "foustanella"-" φουστανέλλα" is very impractical to wear.
-It's impossible to look intimidating wearing that
-The furball on the shoe comes off WAYYY too easily
-You have to wear tight leggings below which makes your balls ache.Especially since wearing that will make you sweat
It looks absolutely ridiculous yes.
The Cypriots have it better tho.
Pic related. Traditional Cypriot folk at a wedding.

>people still make fun of the fustanella
>>947020
>I was making it because fuck having them at my dick
more likely because you're a phaggot that doesn't lift
The mantra of tighter shorts, tighter groupings applies to ancient warfare as well
>>945678
Looks like a gay version of Léine+Ionar
>>954589
But wearing that feels like a diaper, the Foustanella at least is breezy and free.
Early Romans were pretty fab.
