ORIGINAL: amylynne I often end up laying on the chains and it has caused bruising. Is there a lighter chain or like material that would be better. As everyone else has said, there are always the fur-lined cuffs, but there is also the option of having longer cuffs made, spreading the contact area with the leather out over a greater earea, thus also reducing the strain on the skin. Another option is using a length of silk wrapped around what is about to be secured, or a similarly light material. As for chains, it might be expensive, but there are a number of chain mail patterns that can be made in any length that has a great deal of strength to them, but much less weight and a small impact area than simple log chain. Plus, I personally think it adds a bit of originality, but then again, I make chain mail, so take that with a grain or two of salt. If you are looking for some kind of rope, I would suggest either horse leader ropes or paracable, which can be bought in many military surplus stores. Just a couple of suggestions...
