GDFB riveted stainless steel mail

<< < (5/5)

Sir Ulrich:
Now that I got my hands on a GDFB maille coif I notice one MAJOR difference between Icefalcon and GDFB maille. While the GDFB stuff is riveted better in some ways the GDFB stuff is a LOT rougher on gambesons and to the touch than icefalcon. Icefalcon maille is softer on gambesons and less scratchy. Guess I should of went for wedge riveted cause the dome riveted stuff is HARSH on the skin. It's VERY robust though and I think it could survive an arrow if shot at by one. I prefer the icefalcon maille due to being lighter and a lot less harsher on gambesons and skin, I actually got cuts putting the coif on and off. I do like the coif though it doesnt have a gaping neck hole like most coifs. I do want to trim the avantail part of it down though and prehaps blacken it to match my hauberk. Any suggestions on how to blacken maille?
