Chainmaille Armour

Full armour shot with a 50-mm at f2.5. All edges are trimmed with copper-coloured aluminum rings. The rest are steel rings.
Detail of the neck, shot at f2.2
Closeup of the shoulder detailing. Copper-coloured aluminum rings are woven among steel.

Photos of a set of chainmaille armour I just completed in time for Bill's tournament next weekend. A leather undertunic is still under construction but is finished enough for the tournament.

Was the choice of aluminum trimming aesthetic only, or are there comfort or other considerations involved?

I liked the colour and the rings happened to be aluminum.
