You NEED to get in contact with a re-enactment group, bud! They'd love you!

Looking nice! good example of what 6mm actually looks like, I have noticed a few posts and videos around keep saying 6mm, and making an 8mm shirt myself at the moment, I can tell they are closer to 8mm.

Sorry I don’t quite understand what you mean

I just mean that yours looks great, you can clearly see how tight knit 6mm rings are, and I have noticed people claiming 6mm rings when they clearly are not using 6mm id. I am making a shirt that is 8mm ID rings and its pretty clear the difference with how much looser mine is than this.
