Seeing that this topic is in the "Historical Research" subforum and not in "Off Topic Posts" the only thing I will say about this is that "it wouldn't be very likely."
Edit: It seems I'm not quite awake. I read the question as "is there any relation between Panzer and pants"...

Re: Best batting material?
I plan to make a liner for a sallet from several layers of cotton terrycloth sewn together, put in pockets made from linen. Basically because I have it lying around. Anyone any thoughts on that?

Re: Double Bell Wedge tent
I made a wedge tent using a normal sewing machine. . All in all it wasn't that difficult. The most difficult part was figuring out in which sequence to sew it together so that the rolled-up fabric would still fit under the arm. I assume a double bell would not be that difficult. As soon as I have mo...

I don't think those spots are hobnails. Similar spots are all over the painting, for instance in the green piece of cloth hanging from the helmet. Donal: indeed: not wearing spurs and not wearing sabatons either.
