The mail is actually a particle effect using objects and verts. There is an older tutorial on CG Cookie that teaches you how to make a chainmail coif. I used the same concept and found a chainmail image online to use as a reference for the chainmail links.
I really like how you were able to create the chainmail effect. It looks like it took some time to make. Here is the link to Guillaume Menuel's concept art:https://grizz.artstation.com/ Nice comparison!
Nice tutorial. Thanks!
Thank you for the comments and for posting the reference image!
