What's silvery, pretty, weighs about 5 pounds, and costs about as much as a grocery run for a family of 5?

I gave in to...vanity? Avarice? A mid-life crisis?...and bought a maille vest online. It's from RingMesh (Azon), and it's comfy, light, and fits nicely even over my hips. Less authentic looking than traditional chain mail, much lighter, more comfortable, and just as pretty. And it cost a week's worth of groceries instead of a month's, which is also nice.

Yes, some women buy jewelry. Some buy shoes. I buy stuff for LARPs.

Your "midlife crisis" cost you a week's grocery money? ...d00d, the bank owns my heinie for the next thirty years for mine. Relax, you're not doing too badly as crises go. ~_^

(And besides, you're getting cool chain-mail out of it! Will there be pictures?)
