See this is chain mail, with rectangular metal plates over the chest, (known as plated mail, thorin was described as wearing gold plated mail, coincidence?)

it is likely the compromise of this argument

The problem with adding chain mail everything is there were no chain mail leggings, people wore mail-kilts or leather pants. I still think they wore full plate, as the Dwarves smithing far far beyond chain, and with their legendary heavy infantry, you would think they would use it...
