I just want to make sure you realize that the 16thC is the 1500s, and the 17thC is the 1600s, yeah?

Full length shirts were incredibly common on the battlefields of the 16thC, and while losing popularity in the 17thC, were still especially common in the Americas, as a cheap and effective armour vs. native weaponry. The Irish, Scottish, more northernly Scandinavians, Polish and East Euro nations, tended to have more maille, and later.

>If you have photos of such armour sets that'd be even better

If you mean "reenactors in maille shirts", yes. If you mean "displays in a museum" no, because displaying just a shirt is not visually interesting, and they would commonly layer it like the pic I posted here >>9308463
