Those are really great, but forgive me for not being versed in historical armoring... did knights really go around in full chainmail bodysuits including mittens and footies for a time?

Almost every piece of art from this period shows them with maille chausses with foot protection and hauberks with incorporated mittens. Certainly some knights would have had older/hand-me-down equipment, but it was pretty universal from some time in the mid/late 1100s up until plate gauntlets completely took over.
Even the Bayeux Tapestry from 1096 has full or almost full maille:

As someone with a huge weak spot for exactly that period, I will be getting these for sure. And I'm hoping to have some more options for sergeants and the like as well. Can never have too many of those!
