Explanation of quasi-maille:

The term "quasi-maille" is a KLC term, and should not be considered in any way a historical or accepted term. I first used the term after it came to my attention that the maille in First Knight wasn't real maille, but a weird sort of plate/maille combination. After some intense searching, I found a company that made exactly what was in the movie. 

The company was called Metal-Chainex, and WAS at www.metal-chainex.fr. For whatever reason, their page is now defunct, which leaves us no reference as to how to make the stuff. Some of this quasi-maille can be seen in my Ladyhawke pictures above. It is the shiny silver stuff, not the darker bronze looking stuff. It is included here as a reference to how the eye can fool the viewer, and to show some different types of maille like material.

As a further study into what exactly this strange material is, I studied the DVD captures and talked to some other maillers. I have drawn up a diagram of how I think the quasi-maille is constructed. Mind you, this is how I think the quasi-maille is constructed. 

Explanation of Confirmation Status

I will list a movie as confirmed only if it has met certain criteria. These criteria are as follows:

A) I have seen said movie and have seen said chainmaille or chainmaille look alike. 
2) I believe that the chainmaille in said movie is real linked maille, or a derivation thereof.
III) Usually, other people think so too.

Q: How come you have some of the movies confirmed, but no pictures of the maille?
A: I have no video capture equipment for VHS or DVD anymore, so I am unable to get stills showing maille. If you have this equipment or stills of the maille in question, send them to knotlinks@aol.com and you'll be rewarded with your name in the above list and good karma.

Q: How come you have some movies listed with pictures clearly showing chainmaille, but they are listed as unconfirmed?
A: As stated above, I want to actually see the chainmaille in the movie myself before I list it as confirmed. If I haven't seen the movie, I can't really list it as confirmed. Also, I was mistaken in the past in listing Commando as confirmed, because I had seen the film in the past and was shown a picture of the "chainmaille". I tricked my eyes and myself into believing that the painted knitted sweater like material was actually chainmaille. I hope I don't do this again. Sorry.

Q: Do you have a life outside of chainmaille and these movies?
A: Well, that answer has four main parts. The first part is thi.... OOOHHH! Chainmaille sounds coming from my movie, gotta go!

And the winner for best chainmaille joke in this thread goes to Gilleban, with this:

Just remembered part of the credits...a chunk of it was filmed in Prague, so the gorget and shirt might have been produced there...keep forgetting the Czechs are in the maille...
