1st Post and Hamata Supplies Question

[Dan Howard]

If it is just for show then butted links are perfectly fine. If it is intended for SCA or blunt sword combat then most of the riveted mail on the market would be ok and is definitely better than the butted stuff that people used to wear. If it is meant to have a superficial resemblance to Roman mail from a distance then a few suppliers have suitable examples. If it is meant to be a decent replica of Roman mail then nothing available on the market is even close. Nothing would be appropriate for "weapons vs mail" tests either.
