You do make a point- that's part of his Roman get up.  You know...the one where he doesn't wear pants; that shirt looks almost indecently short.  ;)

its a mail doubler. it goes over the shoulders and attaches in the front.

Stop trying to justify your mesh maille tank top with historical precedent.  We're not buying it.  :)

Yep, and it's outside of 1066-1600, so it's not proper armor anyways ;)

ROLFLMAO  ;D 

Personally that's one of my favorite Ancient kits Sir Wolf.  It's different than all the other "Romanesque" gear in that it's mail. 

But also don't lie, yer trying to bring dat sexay back too lol it's a shirt for two purposes:
living history
raves!  ;D

Raves...large gatherings of people, hygiene optional, usually zonking out on hallucinogens and bouncing erratically (they call it dancing) to trance, or drum & bass.  The image of Sir Wolf running thru such an event in a hamata and nothing else would not have been considered out of place at a rave.  Not a first, anyways.  lol
