Which way are the European weaves supposed to hang in a piece of armor?
Historically, and practically, the weave should hang such that it looks like this: )))))))) (((((((( )))))))) (((((((( and so on. This is done so that it can stretch as it is put on and then hang lower to fit the body. You will find a few examples of pieces with the weave hanging the “wrong” way, for various reasons, but they are not common.
