not always true, at least from my standpoint. I am sure that Rygar would disagree. After all, he co-hosts one of the Maille booths at the cincy ren-fest.

and, if you payed $100 total for a Pakistani Machine made piece o' crap. I am sorry to inform you, you have been violently ripped off.

as for you question MacGregor, I know that Rygar's booth had everything from shirt and coif to fine jewelery, and If I remember it was the letter expensive things like ear rings and bracelets that sold for the most part. but to let you in on a little secret, if you want maille, talk directly to the person who is making it. like with kilts, it is very specific if you want a good fit. (and it probably wont cost you an arm and a leg. just an arm. the mark up of a faire is a killer.)
