Aluminium Riveted Chainmail Chausses Ø10mm Rings | Ultralight Chainmail Armour
Although they look like heavy iron armour at first glance, thanks to the aluminium used, they are incredibly light. You'll appreciate this ultralight quality, especially during extended wear.
The chausses feature a cut that covers the entire leg from thigh to ankle, including the upper part of the instep, just as you can see in the accompanying photograph. At the top, they are fitted with leather loops and buckles, allowing you to easily attach them to a belt or gambeson (belt not included). Additional leather straps are located around the calf and ankle area for a more secure fit, ensuring they sit well and don't hinder movement whilst walking.
These chausses draw inspiration from the historical armour worn by knights and commanders in the 12th and 13th centuries. Their early form appears on the famous Bayeux Tapestry (1066), although they were more of a luxury item at that time. By the turn of the 13th century, however, they had become a standard piece of a medieval knight's equipment, complementing the chainmail hauberk and rendering the warrior almost invulnerable.
Where can you use them?
Thanks to their low weight and authentic appearance, these chainmail chausses are an ideal choice for LARP (Live Action Role-Playing), where you'll value the comfort even during all-day wear in costume. They also serve brilliantly as part of a costume for historical festivals, theatrical performances, or film productions. If you want to add authenticity to your knight or warrior outfit without unnecessary weight, these chausses are the perfect choice.
They come in one universal size, which corresponds approximately to L/XL.
