Maille Tailor

[Sir Ulrich]

I think the best bet is to practice tailoring with butted maille and  then transition with riveted. Thankfully I still got some rings left from my days of butted maille so I think when I DO tailor mine I'll use those rings to fill it in and then when I get some riveted rings I'll replace the butted ones with riveted.

[Sir William]

That's a great idea, Ulrich...keep us posted as to how it turns out.

[Sir Edward]

but the old "measure twice, cut once" adage couldn't be more important with rivited mail.

Yep. Though when I'm taking my own advice, it usually turns into "measure once, cut twice"... and then I regret it.

[Sir William]

LOL

Let me find out Sir Edward and I went to the same school of thought. 

[SirNathanQ]

Well I cut the first long seam down one arm. tomorrow will be the other, and determining how much to cut.

[Sir Wolf]

Basically the armour enthusiast's comparison to raising a child.
Awwwwww, he's tailoring his first Maille! I hope it grows up to be a fine young well-adjusted Hauberk!

[Sir William]

If raising a child were that simple, all children would be well behaved.  We KNOW this not to be the case!  lol
