Ringmail?

In a way. Kind of a cross between ring mail and plate mail, but cheaper than both.

I think this would do alright against slashes, but you'd be fucked if they tried to stab you with anything thin. Small knives, arrows, probably even a decent sword with a good jab; but hey, better than linens...

This is actually considered ringmail. The rings are sewn onto a leather backing.

You're right; I was mixing up ringmail and chainmail again.
