This half-haubergeon of chainmail is designed to fill in the gaps between plate armor by having an encompassing underlayer of mail over critical areas. The design puts mail where it needs to be and fills in defensive gaps in the armpits, arms, torso sides and collar. By omitting the lower half of the torso (which is already well-protected by a plate or brigandine cuirass) it greatly reduces the total weight of your armored defense. The torso of the armor has been designed to have a tapered form which follows the shape of the torso so that it lays flat against your padded armor instead of hanging straight down where it would be considerably less useful.

The half-haubergeon is constructed from rings which are 18 gauge in thickness and with an internal diameter of 6 mm. Half the rings are dome-riveted for strength and these alternate with solid flat rings. This pattern of mail creation is a clever historical pattern which removes the need to painstakingly rivet every single ring individually.
