Part of Bladorthin's shipment?

- it says the coat 'was made for' a young Elven prince. We're told of much armour and spears made for King Bladorthin, but they were never despatched because the king didn't pay up.
I'd always supposed the elf-prince's armour had been part of that consignment. That is as good a theory as any. And probably better than most.
"Good and ill have not changed since yesteryear; nor are they one thing among Elves and Dwarves and another among Men. It is a man's part to discern them, as much in the Golden Wood as in his own house." - Aragorn

I always liked that theory but never realised it had been written by another.

It is doubtful that the mithril shirt could have been made for Legolas himself...
