New maille type on the market
Sir Ulrich:
Well I contacted him on Facebook, had an interesting convo. He said this is a new type of maille they're working on to be more "accurate" and similar in quality to Erik Schmids stuff. I actually think it's made with a round wedge riveting tool, I've wedge riveted some links of my own and it ended up with a round head where the rivet protrudes, theres different types of riveting tools, the ant pincer type tool leads to a more ovoid shaped protruding rivet head. Needless to say they said the stuff isnt ready yet but they're working on a sample which they'll send some more pics of to me when they can.
Sir Ulrich:
He got back with me rather fast here are some more pics that are closer up
Quite frankly I am liking the look of this maille, reminds me of the Erik Schmid examples I saw on myarmoury.com Still need to get some pics of the back but I'll ask him for that.
Ian:
could be very promising. I just hope they elect to make the round ring version out of smaller rings. They're pretty huge in the sample. Either that or a slightly thicker gauge.
Sir Ulrich:
The round ring ones are 16 gauge and 8MM as he told me. He said he could make it in 7MM like my coif which would all match. I am quite tempted to get some but their orders say 10 minimum order, so I guess we're going to have to find a vendor to sell this stuff in the USA or stock it at the very least.
Ian:
The middle picture might by 8mm, but the top picture looks like the rings are bigger than the middle picture. Maybe my eyes are just playing tricks. Where is this guy located? I bet KoA or Icefalcon would be interested in stocking his stuff in the US if he's overseas. KoA always has this posted :
