What's with the extra layers of chainmail after the vambraces part? Isn't that a little too much unless you are in a tournament or some shit?

I'm not an expert, but maybe it helps reduce the chance of someone cleaving/puncturing your armor if they do a direct blow to that area. Could also help reduce pummeling from being hit with something like a war hammer or the pummel of a sword.

Helps protect an extremely vulnerable area, especially the are between the shoulder and gorget.

Wouldn't you want to have overlapping layers over your squishy bits? You wouldn't want some peasant's pike slide under the chain mail and cut your neck open, would you?

The Americans wear stars and stripes, I kind of expected them to wear the flag but this made me chuckle.

when fighting a person in armor you go for the gaps, so you naturally put armor there. Chain mail happens to be flexible enough for the job.
