Quality and Authenticity for Your Project
Every ring in this set is designed with durability and historical accuracy in mind. Forget weak butted rings that can be pulled apart in combat. With this set, you get:
- The Strength of Rivets: The dome rivet closure provides maximum durability and reliability, which is crucial for re-enactment and LARP.
- Flat Ring Profile: Flat rings offer better coverage and a denser weave, increasing the protective qualities of the armour and matching historical examples.
- Blackened Finish: The dark finish not only gives the armour a rugged, authentic look but also provides essential resistance to rust.
- Versatility: Ideal for making and repairing armour using the traditional European 4-in-1 pattern.
What's in the Pack?
This 1kg pack contains everything you need to assemble a riveted chainmail weave: loose flat rings and the corresponding number of dome rivets. In total, this amounts to approximately 2500 rings with rivets, providing you with enough material for smaller projects or extensive repairs.

Instructions and Care
To rivet these rings, you will need a special pair of riveting pliers or a small hammer and a riveting block. Store the finished chainmail in a dry place. For long-term storage, we recommend occasionally wiping the armour with a lightly oiled cloth to prevent rust, especially in areas where the blackening might wear off through use.
