I just bought my first set of 14 gauge chainmail from Dark Age creations and it seems like a few rings have fallen out with my first few times trying it on, is this a normal thing?
If you just got the mail and are losing rings from the chest, that's a fairly major issue, especially if it continues to happen.
The armpit ones, because that's where you have a couple layers of chain and a couple intersections and a relatively significant amount of movement, are just going to happen.
Hopefully, they sent you some extra links and you own two pairs of pliers.
