Absolutely! This thread had me going to the British Museum today and looking at early medieval drawings of soldiers in mail. He is right- many/ most don't have a waist belt. I've clearly been misinforming the public for years about redistributing the weight of mail using a waist belt...... :oops:
Yet they did in early Roman periods, which is where this all comes from to begin with, so you're not rally at fault there.
What is interesting is the free hanging mail theory!
