People not equipping mail armor

[Rapzure]

Basically i begun trading mail armor and it says i have 5 of them but none of my units are using them, what should i do? (i've already asigned someone to the storehouse)

Did you rally your soldiers before this?
I've never seen this issue, but make sure your militia is not active.
Maybe delete the militias just to be sure?

Housing Tiers. Everyone can wear helmets.
Tier 2, gambeson.
Tier 3, mail.

Retinue? Plate.

And yes, this is on purpose. It gives you a reason to upgrade houses.

Can militia be equipped with both gambeson and mail if they live in tier 3 homes?

If the above solutions don't work, fwiw I had this bug too and reloading the save fixed it for me.

Afaik, they switch their Gambeson for Chainmail.
Which is kinda strange, imo.
Wasn't a fully armored knight wearing all 3 types of armor?
Gambeson as base-layer, Chainmail in the middle and Plate on top?

Greetings,

The under layer for fully armed knights was not the same as 24 layer gambeson.

- An arming garment was the base layer consisting of a layer or few layers of cloth most often linen, this was followed by mail or a full shirt of mail. finally you have the plate.

The under layer was for padding from chain and plate.
