Am I the only person who is frustrated by the fact that mail coifs go under armor instead of over it? : r/kingdomcome

From the Celts of 300 BC to 18th century Asia, mail was one of the most prized items a warrior could own. The Foe of Swords probably derived the name mail from the Latin Macula meaning net. This coif features 16 gauge links in the international pattern - 4 links through a 5th - common to all European mail. Faithfully copied from examples in museums and private collections, it can be worn with or without a helmet.
