Quote:I don't know how can you tell from literally 40 pieces of pebbles not even reaching to the wrist, that it is mail. Also, wearing mail just for the protection of 3/4 of your arm is quite stupid.It was a common sleeve length in the Middle Ages. I fail to see how 3/4 length sleeves are any more stupid than 1/2 length or no sleeves at all. FWIW the tailoring required for full-length mail sleeves is very complicated.
