"It wasn't the reward that mattered or the recognition you might harvest. It was your depth of commitment, your quality of service, the product of your devotion -- these were the things that counted in a life. When you gave purely, the honor came in the giving, and that was honor enough."
                -- Scott O'Grady

One of the things I'd love to do is go with riveted mail, for the historical accuracy... but I'd also want it to be light. The hauberk that Historic Enterprises has that's only 15 lbs would be a good start, though I'd also want a coif and chauses to match. Everything else I'm gradually adding anyway. :)
