Chainmail Skirt, Flat Riveted and Solid Rings 9 mm, 17G, with Belt
Authentic Construction for Maximum Protection
This piece of chainmail is made using the traditional and proven 4-in-1 pattern. Each ring has an internal diameter of 9 mm. The alternation of riveted and solid (punched) ring rows creates a dense and highly resilient maille. This type of construction was historically valued for its ability to withstand both slashing and piercing attacks better than mail made from butted rings alone. The skirt features a practical split at the front, which allows for unrestricted movement when walking, running, or riding a horse.
Historical Context: An Essential Armour Accessory
Chainmail skirts (sometimes referred to as a fauld) were a key component of armour from the 13th to the 15th centuries. They served to protect the hips, groin, and upper thighs. For both knights and foot soldiers, they were a vital piece of equipment that bridged the gap between torso protection (a cuirass or brigandine) and leg protection (plate cuisses). Their flexibility and reliable protection made them an indispensable part of the armour on medieval battlefields.
An Interesting Fact: The Music of an Approaching Battle
Imagine an army clad in chainmail. The rhythmic clinking of thousands of steel rings as they moved was an unmistakable sign of an impending battle. This characteristic sound not only struck fear into the hearts of enemies but was also part of the identity and pride of the warriors themselves. Every step you take in this skirt will remind you of the craftsmanship of ancient masters.

Care and Maintenance Guide
This skirt is made from mild steel, which is prone to rust. Regular maintenance is necessary to keep it in perfect condition.
- After each use: Thoroughly dry the armour to prevent rust, especially if it has become wet from rain or sweat.
- Regular preservation: Regularly apply a thin layer of preservative oil (e.g., WD-40 or Ballistol) to protect the steel. Wipe off any excess oil with a cloth.
- Storage: Store the skirt in a dry, well-ventilated place. Ideally, hang it up to allow air to circulate freely. Never leave it in a damp bag or container.
- What not to do: Do not store the skirt while it is damp or dirty. Do not leave it lying on the ground in a humid environment.
