Odysseus wearing a pilos, an exomis and a chlamys.

The exomis (from exo: "outside", and omos: "shoulder") was a Greek tunic used by workers and light infantry. A piece of drapery was typically held in place by a belt and tied over the left shoulder. The exomis could be worn in conjunction with the chlamys cape.
