Why is it you can buy sexy chain mail for women but not for men?

It's probably best not to ask me ....

YUM. Knights in White Satin....

Well... My friend Vita and I once co-wrote a totally Mary Sue RPS fic before we knew what it was that featured not the prince on the white horse but the prince in the white speedos...

Still, chain mail? For real? That stuff weighs a TON.

That must pinch something awful...

In the town where I grew up the museum had this replica of a chainmail shirt (a real one) made the way they did it back then that guests where allowed to touch and children under the supervision of a museum guide could try it on. It was way heavy and you didn't want to get your hair caught in it.

Something tells me this isn't really entirely the same thing.

I've worn Tom Holt's chain mail shirt. And it's definitely heavy! We put it on a small child, who had to stand perfectly still and upright, otherwise the weight of it dragged her over. I got it on, and fastened, and could move in it, but getting up from a seated position was ... interesting.

I'm afraid to say that an unfortunate side-note is next to the picture there.
"Quantity in Basket:None"
Ahem.
Not quite the case, judging from those jeans, but who am I to say?
