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.

Who invented the chain mail?
We do not know who invented chain mail, or even where it was invented. There is a link below to an article on chain mail, but I can only hope it can help.
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.
