that dog has seen some shit, also why are you embroiding a patttern on and not just getting your mum to sew you a nice tabard.

>implying I don't pay a specialist to do that shit, just like actual medieval people did

Are they're any people involved in historical reenactment on /his/ I've always wondered whats the best way to go about getting armour reproductions.

>You are riveting that mail aren't you?
i soldered it. does it count?

Fag

this may sound dumb but I remember watching a documentary about chain mail a while back and it was mentioned that they still didn't know how certain kinds were actually made

did I remember this right or am I losing my mind?

>>1960481
I don't know the first thing about making armor or anything, I'm too depressed to learn.

Do a search for armourers in your area, email or facebook message them with a description of what you want and then send the money or measurements. Better quality ones will require you to go to them for fittings.

You can also just buy one size fits noone, off the peg bits and pieces from any number of online retailers.

If you're going to solder it why not just butt it and save yourself a fuckton of work for something thats about the same level of authenticity?

Do I have potential?

This is my first attempt, just using whatever I had in the garage.

Realized the ends are quite shit. I'm going to sand the edges and hammer them tighter together when I continue tomorrow. Planning on doing a couple hours work each day
