Good quality chainmail fast shipping
Fast shipping and excellent customer service arrived to the US within a week and was exactly as advertised. Some of the other reviews mentioned broken rings. Mine came fully intact and oiled and withstood blows from steel weapons, I will write a follow up review after using it in combat a few times. But overall would reccomend especially for the price

Would not trust my life to this
Package showed up with ~6 loose rivetes. by the 2nd day 2 full rings had broken loose from simply putting in on 4 times. Many of rivets do not look to be peened over and are just pushed through the flattened rings. Mail fits well for both myself and my wife. i am 5'9 150lb and the sleeves extend to my elbows and the shirt extends down to just above my knees; the neck is very wide and i had to put some leather between the rings so that it didn't rest only on the edges of my shoulders. I would not trust this for SCA as even just putting on the mail i have seen rings pop; so i would not want to see what a weapon can do to it.The shirt that i received does not have any Washers as advertised, there are only riveted rings, which isn't a huge deal but having solid washers adds a lot of strength to a mail shiftWhen I brought this issue up to NAUTICALMART this was their reply: "Sometimes some rings are fixed tightly and when we stretch first time it happened for 4-10 rings. Now it will be same and no ring will be open."From this response I would not advise purchasing from them as their products are expected to break without any abnormal use

Do Not Buy. Whatever you do, there are better cheaper items on Kult of Athena.
If you plan on buying this item from any seller, please reconsider, the rivets are not correctly peened over, they will not listen to your measurements, they will just send you a piece from one of three sizes with either no splits or both front and back being split. You cannot order it with one split in the front. If the previous reviews are not enough for you, listen to this one, it would cost less and end up better for you to buy a package of loose rings and rivets from kult of athena, buy specific tools, and make your own with a hammer and an anvil. No matter how bad you are with a hammer and a pair of pliers, these sellers all sell the same bad product.

Really great
This hauberk is actually pretty great. Just a fair warning for anyone getting this who don't already know. The hauberk comes oiled, and theres a lot of it. Itll take a LONG while to get it all of it off.

Great service (so far anyway) shirt slightly sub-par
The seller (NAUTICALMART) was very accommodating and quick to answer questions and provide assistance. I had some issues regarding when I would need it, and they made sure it arrived with time to spare (though they did increase the price for me to do so, before lowering it). However, the shirt's riveting is rather lacking, and many rivets fell out of the rings, and some rings just had a hole on the side not allowing for any rivet at all. I am currently seeing what can be done about this, and have contacted the seller, I will update my review as needed.The washer had much better riveting and there were no such flaws.Also, the sleeves are not full sleeves. They are short sleeves about a foot long and extremely large (picture included, with ruler for reference, I apologize for the poor quality).I have contacted the seller and will update my review if there is any change.Edit: they have offered to send another piece if I buy something from them again.

a 48" chest needs to be close to 58" to easily fit you
Smaller than advertised size. Their XL is really more of a large. With this kind of garment, real needs to sizing it 10" more than stated size in order to fit. In short, if you wear a 38" chest you need a 48" sized mail shirt, a 48" chest needs to be close to 58" to easily fit you.

Great buy for the overall product
The product is as described, 16 gauge steel flat ring links, that are 4 in 1 and riveted. Great buy for the overall product, however you'll have to alter the size of the neck hole and do a bit of altering near the skirting to allow for better fitting. Regardless of that, great buy for the cost

Good fit, exactly what I hoped
I purchased the chainmail for a LOR themed wedding which is overkill but I also wanted the real deal and not some fakey costume. It took awhile to arrive and the box was beat up but the product inside was ok. The chainmail was pretty slimey wet from the preservative oil/fluid or was possibly damp from being shipped all the way from India. It fit perfectly and looks awesome and is exactly what I was looking for. I ordered the Shirt, Hood, and pants and all match.
