You should check your chain mail for stretch every now and then. If it has stretched more than 1/16" over one foot, you need to replace it or it might not properly engage your belt and sheath, leading to chain mail suck. Look it up. I recommend the Park Tools chain mail checker for this, but if you're a cheap*** like me, just use the 12" rule.
