    But that is butted, not riveted chainmail so it’s unfortunately not fit for combat. Looks cool tho

      look, I wouldn’t count on the average contemporary person knowing the difference. so its still effective armor, in kind of the same way as a chainmail bikini; the concept of being armor still applies, if you dont think about it at all. how many people have ever thought about factoring armor into their violence!?

        To be fair any type of chainmail is likely a winning move in your average knife-fight as i don’t think there is a huge overlap between people who are likely to stab you and people who know how to penetrate a butted chainmail
