Although Kings Maille (Euro 4 in 1 Double) looks like a good choice for armor it has negative qualities that make it a fairly poor choice. It is best used for ornamental applications as it doubles the weight of the finished piece. It can be used for armor with the main benefit that it is harder to have one of the butted rings open during use as the force would have to pull open 2 rings at a time.

This weave has many uses. It is denser than 4 in 1 and can be a better solution when you're thinking about using King's Maille. It is a good structural weave and can be used in applications like baskets. In order to make armor with this weave the rings need to be tight - this makes it too dense and not very flexible. If the rings are larger they can become too loose and weak.
The higher the AR the looser and more open the weave - it will still work but it will start to separate with larger AR and hang in pairs of rings if hung open. Lower AR makes it tight and stiff. AR: 3.9 is very stiff.

This weave as similar, but worse, draw backs as Euro 6 in 1. For strength, the rings need to be tight, which makes it too dense and not very flexible. If the rings are larger they can become too loose and weak. With this many rings, the weave is also very heavy.
The higher the AR the looser and more open the weave - it will still work.

This weave takes 2 ring sizes. With a large ring AR 4.7 the small should be 4. Other AR combos work, however the wider the AR range the more likely the rings will overlap and spiral.
The large ring shown is 16g 5/16'' and the small is 18g 3/16''. You can also add little rings on the tip of the outter small rings to join them - if you do the size to use is 18g 1/8''

This weave isn’t as strong as it looks - its only as strong as the weaker of the 2 ring sizes used. When made tight it can be quite heavy and not very flexible. This makes it difficult to use as armor but great for sculpture or structure. It is mainly an ornamental weave.
This weave takes 2 ring sizes. Some data shows that ratio of ring AR's works around 1.5. So if the small ring has an AR of 3.5 then the large is 3.5 x 1.5 = 5.25. Other AR ratios will work though.
The best guideline is that the small ring must always fit inside the larger. You can check this by finding the OD of the smaller ring and seeing if its less than the ID of the larger ring. OD=(ID in inches) + (wire size in inches) x 2
