Chainmail is great protection against cutting and slashing attacks – cutting through metal is simply not easily accomplished. The value of mail against penetrating attacks can vary, depending both on the quality of the mail and the form of the weapon. Swords in the later Medieval period began to be crafted with increasingly thinner tips and quadrangular cross-section geometry – an ideal form for splitting links or simply stabbing through though round gaps! A tightly woven weave of small links, such as this example, aids in protecting against such a thrusting attack.

This long-sleeve hauberk is constructed from dome riveted flat rings of mild steel; these rings alternate with solid flat rings. This construction technique reduces the amount of riveting needed to create a coat of mail and thus it substantially lowers its cost without sacrificing strength or durability. The rings measure 8 mm in diameter and 18 gauge in thickness.

Be it in the legendary Viking wars or even the so-called “decisive” Battle of Hastings, knights and warriors always needed the highest order of protection; and when you reenact these wars, you have to make sure that you do too! And this chainmail haubergeon will make sure of that!

Handmade from 18 gauge mild steel rings (8 mm diameter each) are meticulously riveted together using dome rivets. The alternating flat rings make it more durable. A classic European pattern of 4-in-1 chainmail rings is followed while constructing this chainmail shirt. It is available in Five sizes: Small (S) medium (M), large (L), extra-large (XL) and, double extra-large (XXL).
