Chainmail Shirt with Coif, Blackened Butted Mild Steel Rings Ø10mm

Appearance and Construction:

This set consists of a chainmail shirt reaching approximately mid-thigh and a chainmail coif protecting the head and neck. The shirt features short sleeves. The entire armour is crafted from steel rings with a distinct blackened finish, giving it an authentic, darker appearance while also protecting it from corrosion. The rings are densely interlinked in the classic "4-in-1" pattern, which was widely used in the Middle Ages for its flexibility and protective qualities.

A Glimpse into History:

Chainmail armour was one of the most common types of personal protection for many centuries, particularly throughout the European Middle Ages (roughly from the Early Middle Ages to its later stages). It was worn by knights, foot soldiers, and other warriors as primary body protection against cutting and piercing weapons. It was valued for its relative lightness (compared to plate armour) and flexibility, which did not restrict movement in combat. Butted versions, like this one, were often a more affordable option.
