Chain mail Haubergon blackened with half sleeves, round rings riveted

Appearance and Construction:

The shirt features a classic tunic-style cut with sleeves reaching approximately to the elbows, offering protection for your torso and upper arms without restricting your mobility. The surface of the shirt is blackened, which not only lends it a period-correct look but also enhances its resistance to corrosion. The mail is carefully crafted by skilled artisans in the historically proven and functional "4-in-1" pattern. It alternates between two types of rings: round rings with a diameter of approx. 9 mm, which are securely fastened with round rivets, and flat solid (punched) rings. This combined construction (known as RRRA - Round Ring Riveted Alternating) ensures high strength and durability throughout the mail.

Material and Its Advantages:

The entire shirt is made from 18 gauge (approximately 1.2 mm wire thickness) mild construction steel. This material provides an excellent compromise between durability and weight. The steel construction, combined with the riveted rings, offers great protection against cutting or slashing blows, which is crucial for reenactment and historical combat. The blackened finish helps protect the steel from rust and contributes to the authentic appearance of the armour.

Use and Occasions:

This chainmail shirt is the ideal choice for historical reenactment, whether you're portraying a Viking, a Norman warrior from the Battle of Hastings, or another medieval fighter. It's also perfectly suited for LARP or as an impressive part of a costume or collection. The half-sleeves provide better arm mobility compared to full-sleeved shirts, which you'll appreciate particularly during active movement or combat.

Further Information:

The shirt is available in 4 sizes (M to XXL) so you can choose the best fit for you (specific measurements can be found in the size chart with the product). To maintain its appearance and functionality, we recommend wiping the shirt down after use and storing it in a dry place, perhaps lightly oiled for conservation. With this piece of equipment, you acquire not just a piece of history, but also a reliable companion for your adventures.
