Great quality!! I purchased the smaller size which is narrow around the chest, but is perfect for thinner individuals (like me!) - overall I’m satisfied with this purchase.

Merchant Choice

We ordered chainmail from another site and had to return it because it was very low quality.

Product Choice

Looks high quality, longer sleeves and length look good.

I just got it, and it's pretty cool. I was a bit dissapointed about a hole at the right armpit (the links aren't connected there for about a square inch), but it's not a real issue. It's durable enough to withstand one-handed slashes and stabs from blunt swords, though I ended up breaking some links at the front of the neck. You can put it on by rolling up the bottom and then squeezing your head through the neck while pushing your arms through the sleeves. Keep your hands closed otherwise your nails might get caught in the links. Wriggling helps and eventually the chainmail will slide over you. One way of getting it off if you're by yourself is to lean forward with raised arms until the chainmail slides off of you (it will go inside-out when it slides off). There's a few other ways to do it though. The weight and length make it hard to put on and take off, but once you get used to it it's not a problem. I'm 6'4" and it wasn't a big problem for me. You should at least wear a full-sleeved shirt otherwise the links will pinch your skin. All in all an enjoyable piece of Indian craftsmanship, perfect for anyone who has a hobby about the Middle Ages.
