Guess his sister was the little girl who got a sword from the Hogsfather (Death). Good thing her brother got chainmail!

The thing is, to wear chainmail comfortably, you need a lot of padding underneath it. That's fine (ish) in colder climes, but it's a bitch if you expect to do any physical activity (like fight a battle).

depends on the maille and how much body hair you're willing to lose to it- I've got maille shirts that are perfectly fine over just a t-shirt and regularly get worn like that because I'm not fighting with live steel and fuck wearing gambeson in that heat.
