Best Answer

it's very labor intensive to manufacture.

As a do-it-yourself project it is not all that expensive. A 50 lb box of iron rebar wire, a simple mandril, wire cutters, and two pair of pliers will see you as the proud owner of a coif and hauberk in just a few months for less than $100.

Why is a chain mail important?

Chain mail keeps you lightly armoured and still light on your feet.


Why did Norman soldiers wear cloth vests under their chain mail?

Because the chain mail is metal, it conducts the heat away from the skin leaving you feeling cold so the vests were there to keep them warm. Also, if you were to take a hard hit onto chain mail on bare skin, the rings would cut into the skin. Sure, not as bad as if the soldier hadn't had the mail, but still an injury. So, padding was needed.
