Have a neighbor looking for an elbow-lngth chainmail shirt that, "won't rust", so I'm assuming he'd prefer aluminum or galvanized steel? He mentioned using it for SCA combat, but, in my ever so humble opinion, he'll probably not use it too often.

Anyone? Just throwing it out there ...

I can make one in galvanized 14 guage but it will take till newyears to finish.
probibly around 175 plus shiping.
aluminum for 200
although aluminum will not hold up to combat very well.
for decorative or acasional use it should work quite well. expecialy considering the differance in weight and how often you tend to get hit in the torso in sca combat.

I've got a rivited one I'll sell for $375.00. $450.00 with coif. Fits me comfortably at 5'10" and 165 - 190 lbs.
