If you wore a chainmail tunic you would probably become a bit stronger after some time, and possibly loose a bit of weight.

The only problem with this is that you would look like a bit of a dick. So wouldn't it be good if you could buy jumpers with an inner chainmail core so that you could still be somewhat fashionable.

I did attempt to create a heavy jumper once with very thick string, but it wasn't quite heavy enough and consecutive days of knitting made fingers get very sore from the abrasive string.

Maybe somebody could invent a fibre that is a cross between wire wool (stainless obviously) and cotton/wool/nylon or polyester. Then these garments might be able to be produced from single layer fabrics.

Do you think wearing this without a hood, like that on a chainmail tunic, would leave you with rounded shoulders?

I'm not sure similar trousers would work unless they could be fastened to the bottom of the tunic. I doubt there would be enough friction to keep 5-15kg trousers up on their own?

       Carry buckets arround with you where ever you go ... you get the rounded shoulders, and you can drench those losers in the chainmail

       There's nothing like the smell of metal and sweat.

       po are you pregnant?   

       robert c it might be a good way to cameflage your chainmail and so lull your enemies into a false sense of security, just before you hack their limbs off.
