Tempting.
Sir Ulrich:
Thanks guys.
I am thinking of just getting a ready made coif and modify it to fit me and add a chin and neck guard to it. That helmet is also quite tempting for that price.
Sir James A:
My guess would be 4k-5k rings also, depending on the size of the head, the size of the mantle, and if you make the part that they would tie around their lower face. A basic coif with small mantle is probably 3500-4000 rings, at 9mm diameter?
So glad to see them carrying them. I'm almost at the end of my patience messing with my butted mail shirt; seems like every time I tweak something, try it on for fitment, then take it off, 10 rings come off from random spots just by handling it. :(
Sir William:
Sir James, I totally understand where you're coming from...it is for that very reason that I switched to a riveted hauberk a couple of years ago. I experienced ring loss primarily under the arms and in the elbows of my previous mail shirt.
Sir Edward:
Boy, you said it. I hate losing rings like that. Every faire season I end up with a few on the floor-boards of my car.
