I should be able. I'll look into it and get you a price.

Bump! Drawing is still on!

Jestyr

Just a reminder about the drawing. You can get an idea of pricing at www.customchainmail.com, or order one of the shirts posted to be eligible.

Take a look at our pricing for custom shirts. We are usually less than an equivalent off-the-rack shirt from other vendors!

Excellent.

Ant wrote:Also, it appears another vendor is copying your sales tactics with a freebie now too.

I saw that. *shrug*

Jestyr

This drawing is for orders placed until April 30.

I'm going to do other promotions periodically, but I have nothing specific planned after this one.

Drawing is still going on! Your odds cannot be worse than 10% to win!

For the foreseeable future, only I will be able to add photos to the site and facebook pages.

That said, I'd love to add your photos once I do a customer gallery. Send me a photo and once I am ready I will add it.

Also, did you get my last email regarding the vest and brass rings?

Ant wrote:Are those 8m.m. or 9m.m. rings?

9mm riveted. I can really only get stainless in 9mm.

Much better on the load times. Dropped down to a max of 2 seconds; previously, I'd had waits of about 15-20 seconds per page. Also, as far as the custom form breaking, I'm on a Kindle Fire HD, in landscape mode. The CSS is actually giving me fits right now. I'll take a look this weekend and resolve...

The new server resources seem to be up and running, so please let me know if you are still experiencing slow response times.

Jestyr

I'm very glad you (and your lady) are happy.

At some point I may create a "customer gallery" on the site, so with your permission I'd like to use the photo your uploaded.

Like the site, love that it's mobile friendly. I personally like the clean interface and typographic choices for the headers. The choice selection on your shirts is nice, and it's easy to compare prices on different options. Your news posts are easy to navigate, and I like that you're leveraging th...

I really like mine. I overheat in zoombang, but do not have that problem with evoshield.

The only downside is the lack of front/chest protection. While fighting single sword, I caught a shot to the Xiphoid Process that was very unpleasant.

I am very excited to share with you the new website for Custom Chainmail! http://www.customchainmail.com/ It has all of our aventails available for online ordering, as well as a LOT of different sizes of shirts (also available for online ordering). There is also a convenient form to get a quote on a...

Yes. I would absolutely say it is.

Ideally you would have both the bargrill and a closed face visor, but that is optional. If you don't have it, I would think it is appropriate to mention in the write up.

I am looking for a Longsword recommendations for SCA Rapier, and possibly Cut & Thrust. I don't fence much, but the 2 handed longswords look like fun so I'd like to pick one up as cheaply as possibly. I'd prefer a simple quillion crossbar (as opposed to more ornate), but for the right deal I'd consi...

If you are interested, we do custom-sized, riveted mail shirts. We also have alternating solid ring/riveted, which is usually considered more historically accurate pre-13th century. Our primary product is flat rings which are much better for combat as it is substantially lighter, but we can do round...

Thank you for the positive review! I am very glad you are happy.

Where is the cheapest and or best place to get sports armor, also is there any sites that show you the best way to do hidden kness arms shoulders kidneys etc ?? For body armour, I like EvoShield under chainmail. A lot of folks like Zoombang, but I found I overheated in it very easily. http://www.ev...

Bump!

Would this count if I ordered a sleeveless shirt in 8m.m.? Sure! As well I am still waiting to hear back about 8m.m. brass rings. :) I emailed you! We can get them, but am waiting on a response for the quantities you requested. Also, as an aside, we are also looking into the process to not make the...

Our prices are very good, and our quality is excellent. :-) I have Long, Mild, 9mm Alternating Solid/Riveted in stock (in both Oiled and Blackened finishes). They are $125 each. I can have either shipped tomorrow. I am expecting a stainless shipm...
