Welcome to the Maille Artisans International League

M.A.I.L. is a union, a coming together of maille fans, smiths, and merchants. Together we learn new techniques, talk to our favorite artists, and find new contacts for our maille needs.

More than just a conversational nexus, M.A.I.L. strives to serve as a library of knowledge for all things maille. Members donate their knowledge and experience in the form of articles, gallery images, and weave submissions. Feel free to read and learn from them as you will. Note, tho, that the submissions of the members are the property of the members, so if you wish to reproduce anything you'll need to find the owner and ask permission.

M.A.I.L. vs maille: which is which?

Pardon our little play on words ;) Maille is the linking of rings to form a fabric of metal, M.A.I.L. is our organization. The two are used thruout the site. Don't be confused if maille is spelled mail, malle, or maile...they're all the same thing 8).
