maille tailoring?
Sir Ulrich:
Round riveted indian maille does have a historical analogue
That looks remarkably similar to it. Though it's still not 100% spot on you can see how they copied it to mass produce it.
Sir Humphrey:
I'm just about to finish tailoring the sleeves on my flat/solid wedge rivieted haubergeon. It is not as difficult as I suspected. Steven Shelton (a fellow DOK FB page member) lives near by and gave me good guindence. I'm stitiching it back together with butted links so I can correct any mistakes I make. Then Steven and I will go back and replaced the butted links with riveted ones later. BTW, Steven was one of the pioneers in having the riveted mail reproduced in India. He was one of the first importers many years ago. We all know the current products need improvement, but they are light years ahead of the shiney butted stuff that is the top seller.

Where'd you find the pic? I'm curious on what / where it's from. That doesn't look like what I've seen, but I haven't seen a lot of maille, either. I'm going to guess it's earlier period, at least?
Sir Ulrich:
I found the pic on my armory. It's russian maille from the mid 1800s. Possibly it could use machined wire which is why it looks different.

Ah, way on the other side of the spectrum, not relevant for comparison with medieval mail. Still, neat to see it pop up before the last couple decades.
