Went shopping yesterday (after my 2nd post). The shirt @ the local costume shop was too expensive and had too much space between the rings. So, after much searching, I bought galvanized, 16-gauge wire and a 3/8" dowel so I could make my own. Much cheaper than buying pre-made rings. Only I don't know if I can make a whole vest/shirt by Halloween. My teachers have decided that I should have four hours of homework each night. Grr! Maybe I'll bring the work in progress to study hall...get some funny looks but at least I can work on it!<BR>Knight of Gondor-he he he. Lord of chain mail rings. I like that.<P>Anyone have ideas for shirts, pants, or boots? <BR>Again, thanks for all the links! (no pun intended...)<p>[ September 07, 2003: Message edited by: Roccotari Eldandil ]
