Orcish chain mail is a form of body armor that provides a magic cancellation of 1 and a base AC bonus of 4. 
As with most orcish items, it is less effective than the regular equivalent (chain mail), but better than nothing.  It's an upgrade from (studded) leather armor or (orcish) ring mail.  But scale mail gives the same AC for less weight.
