I am at a point of having to make a choice of what to purchase, or make.
I am considering a few options here.
1. Buy and existing maile shirt preferably riveted from Ebay, or another vendor, and modifying it to a Roman style. This would have all riveted rings, and have really large rings
2. Have someone knit a totally butted shirt for me, or do it myself
3. Purchase solid rings, and make butted rings in the proper wire size for Roman and knitting my own shirt.
So I would like to get some input here from others who have made, or have done what I am planning to do.
How hard was it to make your own?
How long did it take?
