-== History ==
-Mail, also called chain (chain mail, while widely used and understood, is redundant), was an improvement over scale armor, being less penetrable and boasting better durability. Mail was always expensive where it was in use, being time-consuming and expensive to construct. Mail was worn over a thick woolen coat, called a gambeson, which cushioned blows and prevented chafing. Being flexible, mail remained in use long after the widespread use of plate owing to its ability to protect the joints (elbows, armpits, knees, groin), though more advanced forms of plate armor (especially Italian armor) used strategically-placed and specially-shaped plates to protect these as well.
