Medieval Chain Mail Shirt and Coif Armor Set and Shirt

Woks great sizing is correct. I feel like I’ve heard some of the pieces separate from the bottom but not sure. Wore multiple days in 80+ stays as cool as possible

Its very comfy, definitely make sure you measure at least your shoulders, i bought an xl and its a bit too big on the shoulders even though i normally wear xl clothes. Pretty heavy although still is comfortable. It helps to have someone help you put it on but you can do it yourself

While I can't write a full review as of yet (I haven't worn this to a faire yet or used it more than just trying it on), I will say that my initial impression is good. My chain mail came without a single missing ring, and I haven't had any fall off whilst trying it on. In fact, I haven't seen any loose/open yet, either (and I did do quite a bit of wiggling around trying to get it on/off the first time). I've heard a lot of people talk about the armpits tearing out, so I'll be keeping an eye out for that and will probably update my review at a later date.After reading others' reviews, I've determined that the chain mail sizing must be inconsistent, as others who are taller than myself (5'9") talked about the hauberk coming down past their knees. Mine came to a perfect length of just above the knee, and the sleeves a few inches above the wrist (I may shorten them to just below the elbow). This would DEFINITELY not fit a 3XL; It's more like a men's medium, so beware (I'm thin and it fit me perfectly).My only complaint is in the coif. The face hole is a little too small and, while it does fit around my face, I can't pull it over my head (like pulling back a hood). Removing one or two rows of rings should make it perfect, though.I will also mention that, unless you know how to put on and take off a hauberk, it is extremely difficult, because it is heavy and awkward. I ended up looking it up online just to avoid wriggling in and out on the floor (so graceful for a knight, eh?). The best way to get in is to lift up the mail from the bottom and put your arms in first and let it slide over your head. To get out, pull up the bottom halfway, then bend over and touch your toes. It will slide off your head and then you can pull your arms out.Pros:-Good quality metal (no rust or oil, as another reviewer experienced)-Looks good-Mine was a perfect length-Great for costuming (renaissance festival) purposes-Very affordable priceCons:-Hard to get into/out of if you don't know what you're doing-Heavy (but, hey, it's chain mail; it's supposed to be heavy)-Coif's face hole was a bit too small-Nowhere near a 3XL

I am happy to say not a single link was missing & both coif & shirt are very well made! It fits me like a glove but I am 5 foot 7 inches tall. I would think that a big man would have some issues, I have a 48 inch chest & the shirt is tight on me & only hangs down to groin level much like a large T-shirt. I feel very lucky as both coif & shirt fit me well enough & a 48inch chest is stretching the chainmail. Also beware if you have long hair when you put these on make sure your hair is contained, completely covered!!! I was fortunate enough to foresee the potential & tucked all five of my braids inside a wool winter cap! When I took off the chain mail it did snag my hat. If I would have put the chain mail coif or shirt on without covering my hair I would now have 10+ lbs of beautiful chainmail entangling my locks!!! Yes it would have been funny but I am guessing it would have hurt quite a bit, as well as involving a long yoga like grappling match trying to free my hair from the chainmail! Also I have read reviews where people had difficulties removing their chainmail. The key to this is stay relaxed & let gravity do the majority of the work for you, let it slide off DO NOT try & put your arms inside the shirt!!!!!!!! The next time I put my chainmail on I will use a tight weaved cotton head bandana instead of a knit wool hat. After trying it on & taking it off it is still intact with no missing links. Handle your chainmail gently & I don't think you will have any problems. I am going to see if it is possible to rivet the links shut If I can it will triple the value of this already nice costume set! As far as 3XL I don't think so unless this chainmail can really stretch because I am on the short side of the spectrum & it fits me tightly I was anticipating it would hang to mid thigh but it barely hangs to the groin & is tight in the chest so big men beware! My daughter & her boyfriend tried it on & it does come down to their thighs when they say up to 48 inch chest they mean it! Any bigger & you will have to pass on this deal.
