You'll be wanting good old 4-1 maille, with round rivets on round wire links and flat solid links. The smaller the ring diameter the better, 6mm is best if you have that sort of cash.

It won't be perfect, but only maille autists would be able to tell and no one who payed less than $15000 for a byrnie has accurate maille.

Maille coifs are almost universal even on short sleeved shirts and are (with a very few exceptions) integral rather than seperate items in this century. Maille mittens or gloves are likewise attached to the sleeves of the hauberk.

You will need to alter the armour to get a good fit, especially on the coif. Buy a set of snips, riveting tool and bag of loose links that match your armour.

Allbeststuff is the cheapest around, and virtually all maille comes from India anyway so it makes little difference in terms of quality.
