Protective clothing for men of letters [5-2-4]
-- E - T - O - M - - -
really stuck on this one can only think vests of mail which surely cant be right ! help appreciated.

Vests of mail would not fit if you have
-- E - T - O - M - - -


But I like the "mail" bit for a reference to "letters".

I think it would fit 5 -2-4 but it doesnt have that certain ring to it.

At last I have worked it out to coats of mail.
