Chlamys - The chlamys was a seamless rectangle of woolen material worn by men for military or hunting purposes.[1] It was worn as a cloak and fastened at the right shoulder with a brooch or button.
The chlamys was typical Greek military attire from the 5th to the 3rd century BCE
Himation - The himation was a simple outer garment worn over the peplos or chiton. It consisted of heavy rectangular material, passing under the left arm and secured at the right shoulder. The cloak would be twisted around a strap that also passed under the left arm and over the right shoulder. A more voluminous himation was worn in cold weather.
The himation could be pulled up over the head to cover the wearer when they were overcome by emotion or shame
peplos - A predecessor to the himation, the peplos was a square piece of cloth that was originally worn over the chiton by women.[4] The top third of the cloth was folded over and pinned at both shoulders, leaving the cloth open down one side. This upper part of the peplos which is folded down to the waist, forms an Apoptygma. Sometimes the peplos was worn alone as an alternative form of chiton. As with the chiton, often a girdle or belt would be used to fasten the folds at the waist.
Corinthian Helmet - This is the kinda stereotypical hoplite/spartan helmet
Chalcidian helmet - This is the evoluion of the corinthian helmet
Kopis - this is a curved sword, like an older scimitar. it is very similar to the falcata

I will look into this.

I will look into this, too.

The current chitton design allows something like this to be done with it.

I don't think this will be possible as the Corinths were a people.

Chalcidice was a place and I don't think this will be allowed either.

I'll have to check, but I thought we already had this.

I get that, thanks. Is there a way we could make a style close to it? TBH, not sure how to describe them, because these are the names for the helmets.
I am just patterning a char after the greek look, so was hoping to get some of these. The helms in game don't really match.
Regarding the kopis, they are listed as early scimitars in most literature I found, I didn't even think to consider them falchions :)

Have you tried the new Half-Krolvin-themed shop in Duskruin?

Yes. Much of that is more Roman than Greek. But if that's what I need to do.. then that's what I do. I have the sagum from there. was hoping I could change to a more Greek look. I do plan on getting some of the armour from there, especially the various vambraces.
