What are good garments, to wear under chainmaille and plate armour?
Also , I saw something about a padded coif...How would you pad one? That is the piece that I am working on currently.

As for padding an entire coif, you build a hood, and wear that under the coif. In certain specialist applications, such as the lip edge of a camail, the hood/padding/lining might be stitched down there.
