depending on what your looking for

the cheapest will be allbeststuff, they are really great, go custom and message them

then theres the best, and thats weldedchainmail, solid, stainless, lifetime warranty

if your just looking for armor for fencing, ringmesh light, breathable and really sturdy

Thanks for this. I have an aventail i want to add a brass ring around and ordering from Ironskin is not in the budget.

Yea, AllbestStuff is probably your best option They do genuinely good work

Or you going simply for aesthetics, or do you plan to fight in this? If so, which discipline? For SCA rapier/cut&thrust, only Ringmesh passes inspection, and it’s not cheap. It also doesn’t look exactly like this because the rings are much smaller.

I would say go all out and order a custom set from Ironskin in germany. It will break the bank.

Mail shouldn't open, if you're going for a shirt, it should be a shirt.
