I know this comment is old now but I actually did end up getting real chainmail! Just posted some pics. It was quite heavy but not as heavy as I thought and I am getting used to it. I could easily move around and stuff. A lot easier then making it myself.
Thanks! I am using it for reenactment in different castles. Sadly in the UK ren fairs are not a thing though we do have medieval fairs that are similar but they are not as frequent. Though I am hopefully going to a tournament and participate in one in August but just as meet and greet.
Sadly, many of our castles and such places are run by volunteers and the organisations who run them are not very good as they used to be. I wish we had more. We do have medieval events at certain castles but they are always quite far away and hard to get to. So maybe people do go just not around me. Though looking forward to going in August. It will be fun.
