Yeah, I wore mine for about 8 hours straight at the Texas Ren-fest this last year (I finished it the night before.) I'd have been in lots of pain driving back home the next day if I hadn't gone out there with a friend in chiropractic school. I NEEDED the adjustment did afterward.
The first thing I did when I walked through the gates was buy a big thick-ass leather belt, which I then cinched tightly around the shirt. I pulled up a bit on the maille so some of the weight rested on the belt and not my shoulders. |

My friend John also made an entire shirt out of chain maille. And a helm and coif. And apparently a dice bag...
Wearing the chain shirt was hellish, the weight was forced entirely on the shoulders, but it was very well-fit and it felt nice after I got used to it. Apparently he wears it almost constantly... |

That's pretty neat. Would make a great carrier for my pipe ;D |

So I made this from whatever I had laying around the house. It's not much, and was a breeze after making a full maille shirt... but I thought it was a neat little project and if nothing else I figured out a good way to attach maille to leather and that twisted rings were kinda cool.
The part that took the longest was twisting all the wires that make the twisted rings. I did that all by hand.
