Every time I've messed with chain mail it's always felt like it's ripping out my body hair. This looks like torture.

This is why chainmail is always used with a liner. I imagine the guy in the posts uses a sheet or a thin blanket beneath

This is what it means to be a man.

A completely hairless man.

Well, you're not supposed to wear it against bare skin. For suits of armor they wore padded jackets underneath the chainmail.

coil cut cosplay 'chainmail' is NOTHING like actual combat chainmail.

[–] mods_are_assholes@lemmy.world 20 points 8 months ago (1 children)

That's because the ends aren't welded and microgaps can snag everything.

If you can't braise aluminum (and most people can't) then you can use little dots of JBweld in the gaps. Time consuming but 100x more comfortable.

Huh, my roommate makes chainmail and I've never had this issue. Maybe it's a crafting quality issue, and he's just really good at keeping the ends together?

Over time even good annealed coiled chain will separate, and when you have to knit thousands of links sometimes you get sloppy.

Accidental epilator.

I think riveting the rings helps with that but it makes it way way harder.
