    Airports?

    Post Your Custom Mando Pics

    Chainmail?

    Greetings and merry met to all. A question? So far all my costuming/armor experience is of a medival nature. Sewing tunic and kilts, linking chainmail, ext. With this in mind when I look at Mando suits I'm struck by all the gaps in their coverage. Now I know these suits where designed...

    greaves... clone ones
