During XV century, mail gorgets were sometime worn with the buckle in front (more convenient) or with the buckles on the rear (safer). This model is designed to be worn with buckle in front for maximum comfort.
The word “chainmail” is a modern neologism. Our medieval ancestors simply use the word “mail” or “maille” ;)
