Description This is my chainmail Coif
So far about 500 feet of wire in this.
Not sure what else I am going to do with this or if I am at all.
4-1 16g 5/16 ring size
It does not show in the picture but up the front the last 5 rings are pulled in so it can tie with leather strips.
I have alot of hair so I need to fins another way to wear this with my hair. maybe a braid.

You should make yourself a padded coif to go underneath it - not only will it keep your hair tidy, it'll also make the maille more comfortable!

I like it!

I'm planning on going to all the chainmail events I can at Gencon this year, but maybe I can seek your wisdom at some point?

Not yet. I'm planning to after this year's Gen Con though. I'm excited to go, but I don't know of anyone else that's going yet. I was hoping to get a convoy of geeks together...
