Sir Rodney:
Sure, now you can get the Mail Aventail in about a week!

Sir Ulrich:
Just in time for my birthday (which is today). Good price too think I am going to get some.

Sir Brian:
Hey Happy Birthday! :)

Sir Patrick:
Happy Birthday, Sir Ulrich! :)

Forgot to ask:  Does anyone know how many rings are in a typical coif?  I've been kicking around making one, and the prefab rings would speed things up a bit!

EDITED to ask question.

Sir Edward:

How many rings? Quite a lot. :) I know that's not a good answer. I might have to see if I can estimate what's in mine. I estimated that my entire aluminum set (hauberk + coif) is on the order of about 25,000 links, if I remember correctly.

Thought experiment: If the coif is about 25% the weight of the hauberk, the ratio would be 4:1, so 1/5 of the total... which would be about 5,000 links. That number sounds a little high. But I'm just guessing on the ratio at the moment, and in my case the coif has a particularly large mantle. I may have to take a close look at it and see if I can make a better estimate.
