Quote:you still need something to keep the ornaments from damage by the mail.Indeed. I would advise either buying a cheap tunica manicata or simply wearing an undecorated tunica when wearing armour. After all, a tunica manicata was not a cheap piece of clothing and I really doubt it was worn under such dmaging armour. Aftyer all, local fashions did exist and not all citizens took to wearing the manicata.
