Mail Armour: Where To Buy It. My Favourite Sites

Mail is a type of armour consisting of small metal rings linked together in a pattern to form a mesh.
The earliest example of surviving mail was found in a chieftain's burial located in Ciumești, Romania.
Mail continues to be used in the 21st century as a component of stab-resistant body armour, cut-resistant gloves for butchers and woodworkers, shark-resistant wetsuits for defense against shark bites, and a number of other applications.
The first attestations of the word mail are in Old French and Anglo-Norman: maille, maile, or male or other variants, which became mailye, maille, maile, male, or meile in Middle English.
Civilizations that used mail invented specific terms for each garment made from it.
The use of mail as battlefield armour was common during the Iron Age and the Middle Ages, becoming less common over the course of the 16th and 17th centuries.
