Loot table in blackburrow
 

I got curious as to where regular ringmail (as opposed to medium or large dropped).

According to allakhazam, one of the sources was blackburrow (maybe not the coat, but the other items surely), scroll to the bottom of this link to see a list of zones with it.

I do remember getting some of this a long time ago. Last night on a trip back to halas I killed about 4 or 5 elites, and didn't see a single piece. Maybe I didn't kill enough to see (I remember it not being too common) but I remember it dropping there.

Also leather armor was pretty common there, and I haven't seen a single piece drop. And I spent about 5 or 6 levels in blackburrow.

Blackburrow ringmail drops on allakhazam I think is a mistake. When the zones were upgraded, they started dropping various chain and leather, but they weren't the classic drops.

That quote is still referring to only large ringmail. Medium sized ringmail can be found in permafrost, unrest, mistmoore, etc.
