Alright, first, some of the other purchasers seem puzzled by the nature of chainmail itself. Chainmail *conforms* to your body type. Hence, if you're a tall, skinny guy -- the chainmail is going to seem long & lean.

Me, I'm a chubby, out-of-shape guy who tends towards 2x and 3x shirts. This chainmail fits me fine. My only problem is that I have the most ginormous skull you'll ever see -- and had a bit of difficulty fitting it through the neck opening of the chainmail. Actually solved the problem by using wire cutters to remove a few links and loosen the collar. However, this is not a flaw with the product. This is a flaw with my truly gargantuan head.

I'm very pleased with this armor. Yes, the links are not perfectly joined. At this price, one wouldn't expect them to be. However, for costume purposes, it's absolutely perfect. And it's the cheapest I've seen *anywhere*. Particularly given that you receive a coife as well as the hauberk.

Again, I'm completely pleased. It arrived fast, and it's just a shame they seem to be out of stock. Must be a close out item.

I ordered this as I work in a rough neighborhood. My boss was stabbed recently outside the office; and another colleague was shot last year. As I have to walk a bit from the bus; I needed some added protection. I purchases this item; and it looks fantastic. I get some odd stares on the bus- but it is pretty intimidating. The other day; I was mugged and feeling brash in my armor, I told the guy off. Well- needless to say he went after me. The knife didn't get through the armor at all. The blade broke- and rather than being stabbed-- I was pushed over and kicked several times before the mugger ran off.

The only downside is that it is heavy; and it took me about 5 minutes of rolling around on the ground before I could stand up.

I ordered this for my son who has wanted one forever. I was worried that it may end up being junk because the price was so low (5 - 6 hundred is average cost) but ordered it anyway. It is BEAUTIFUL and he was not disappointed at all. I was worried that it would be really small but it fit him nicely (he is slim and tall - 6'4") and hangs to just above his knees and the arm length fit perfectly. I could not be happier with this purchase - I just don't know how they can sell so cheap! I ordered a "used" one but it looks brand new.
