IceFalcon, Lone Wolf Chain Mail

Historic Enterprises used to have them, I don't see them on the site at quick glance but might still get them if you ask

Edit: I believe GDFB makes a set too. Wherever you buy the mail, generally, buy the pliers from the same supplier. For pin rivets, my historic enterprises pliers don't work with the icefalcon pin riveted mail, I had to get his; slightly different dome size, and they're so small it's critical
