If you bought a riveted mail shirt you wouldn't have a weight problem. Butted links have to be much heavier to stop them coming apart. Even on a shin-length riveted mail hauberk all you need is a belt cinched around the waist to take some of the weight off the shoulders and redistribute it on the hips. Andreas is right about historical tailoring of mail. They are nothing like today's "tubes with sleeves".
