I can buy ballistic body armor cheaper than I can armor grade chain or plate. A lot cheaper. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/400133/3376424.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/400133/3376424.page GMT UK that either sell the rings, a basic shirt, or stuff to order, but I am sure the US has equivilents.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/400133/3376447.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/400133/3376447.page GMT
You sure you want to spend that much for a halloween outfit? If not, you might be able to find mockmail?

Edit - Well 120 ish USD. http://theringlord.com/]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/400133/3376827.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/400133/3376827.page GMT http://www.mailleartisans.org/ is a one stop shop for vendors, techniques, and pretty much anything to do with maille or chain armor.

In the interest of speed and economy, you may wish to avoid this armor type. a pair of elbow cops of shiny steel can be had for about 20 bucks, and a great helm for about 100. That's about half the cost of any maille, and the maille will mostly be under a tabard.

If you're comfortable working with aluminum, an early middle eastern cuirass known as a char-aina is not difficult to make. Basically, its four plates that protect your guts but will look suitably exotic and are even appropriate for most of the Templar orders. Best of all, it can be knocked out with a jigsaw and a bit of sanding in a day. I wouldn't use it if you were planning on being a Black Templar though- they crusaded in northern Europe.
