I'd prefer a durable steel, but I'll probably end up with aluminum because steel is a bitch to find in my area. I initially planned on making the tabard a sort of closed shirt, whereas the chain bits would be arm and leg pieces that strap to the clothing.

But that reinforcing idea is pretty good.

The chainmail is actually the least of my worries. I made myself a mandrel for coiling wire (pic related), and am fairly confident in my ability to sew. I'll have to make some prop armor for the helmet, shin guards, and wrist cuffs, though, which I've never done before.
