Custom Haubergeon

I received this custom commission from a client who was looking to capture the look of a specific Germanic style of maille shirt, as seen in a couple example works of art he provided:

The idea is a basic alternating-row haubergeon, but the lower edge has been cut so as to create a single dag front and rear, arching up higher near the hips.  I also tailored the sleeves a bit to more closely follow the arm.

The shirt is a bit small on me as the client is smaller than I am, but hopefully you get the idea.
