Plush Teddy Bear in Chainmail Armour, Aluminium Butted Rings 6mm

This adorable plush bear is ready for battle! It is equipped with a chainmail coif and hauberk (chainmail shirt), which are crafted from anodised aluminium rings. Thanks to the aluminium, the armour is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and maintains its shine. The armour is meticulously hand-linked using butted (unriveted) rings with an inner diameter of 6 mm.

The teddy bear is a fantastic addition to your collection, an original gift for friends, or a unique decoration to liven up your home or tent at historical events.

Historical Context

Chainmail was the dominant form of protection on the battlefield for centuries, from Roman legionaries (lorica hamata) to high medieval knights. The 4-in-1 weave, where each ring is linked to four others, is the most common and historically accurate pattern. While historical armour was made of iron or steel and required constant maintenance against rust, this bear enjoys the benefits of modern aluminium – low weight and resistance to corrosion.
