Question:

chainmail wire ???????????

what is the best wire to use for a chainmail

Answer:

If you plan to wear this, stainless steel is the only wire that will not rust. Knights look terrible with underarm rusty mail.
Costume or 'Historically Correct'? You can buy soft iron or aluminum wire in any gauge you can 'knit'. ( 14 is about right for Al., 16 for iron.)
