This mail standard is crafted from flat links of mild steel which are wedge-riveted and these alternate with solid flat rings. The mail has been stitched onto a base of thick leather and can be adjusted to size with its two brass buckles and matching straps. Most hauberks and shirts of mail do not have good protection for the neck – this is necessary to make the shirt fit over the head when donning. This lack of protection for a very important part of the body can be compensated for by simply adding a standard – its mail links and thick leather backing make it very difficult to cut into. If your helmet has no aventail, than it is a good idea to add a standard – if not for the protection, than to make your armored look more complete. It could be combined with a helmet aventail for an even more heavily-armored look with double the protection.
