The linen Kilt of Armor

Right now your probably looking at that title and saying what the- (removed for child safety) is a kilt! Well not to go into detail but... it's a 4 foot by 1 foot piece of linen wrapped around the waist multiple times them slid behind them and hanging down between the legs. In short, it's a loin cloth. Besides that a soldier will where a leather chest protector. Also they had a 3 foot long shield and a padded linen helmet. Most men were armed with a spear.
