The item art for the chain mail includes a long sleeveless shirt made out of interlocking chains, also known as a byrnie or [[Wikipedia:Hauberk|hauberk]], as well as a set of metal pauldrons and a [[Wikipedia:Gorget|gorget]] that goes around the wearer's neck and shoulders. Worn around the waist is a metal belt. The chain mail generally provides a good amount of defence at a relatively affordable price compared to heavier sets of armour. In some illustrations, the chain mail has longer sleeves or is worn over a long-sleeved grey tunic.
