Stainless Steel Haubergeon, Short Sleeves, 9mm Alternating Riveted & Solid Flat Rings

The End of Rust and Hours of Maintenance

The main advantage of stainless steel is its exceptional resistance to corrosion. Rain, sweat, a damp tent—none of these pose a threat to your armour anymore. Forget about oily rags and wire brushes. This shirt will retain its shine and strength without any oiling.

From the photos, you can also notice the high-quality detail of the padded collar and sleeve cuffs. These elements not only give the shirt a premium look but, more importantly, increase comfort during wear and prevent chafing on the neck and wrists.

Advanced Construction for Strength and Appearance

This armour is not made from simple butted rings. Its mail is constructed using a sophisticated and historically documented 4-in-1 pattern that alternates between rows of riveted and solid (stamped) flat rings.

• Riveted Flat Rings: Each ring is individually riveted shut, giving it immense tensile strength and preventing it from being pulled open upon impact.
• Solid Flat Rings: These rings are stamped from a single piece of steel and have no join. They form an extremely durable backbone for the entire weave.

This combination provides excellent protection while also having a visually authentic appearance, befitting the armour of the High Middle Ages.

How and Where to Use It

This short-sleeved haubergeon is a versatile piece of armour. It's perfectly suited for a Norman warrior, Viking, or early medieval knight persona. It is ideal for:

• LARP: Where you will appreciate its reliability and absolute zero maintenance requirements.
• Historical Festivals and Reenactment: You'll make a great impression with the authentic look of the mail.
• Theatre and Film: Costume designers will appreciate its consistent appearance without the need for constant cleaning.

An Armourer's Apprentice's Tidbit

Did you know that the term "Haubergeon" is essentially a diminutive of "Hauberk"? While a hauberk usually referred to a full, long chainmail shirt (often knee-length with long sleeves), a haubergeon denoted its shorter, lighter version—typically hip or thigh-length with short or no sleeves. This product is, therefore, a textbook example of a haubergeon.

A Care Guide You'll Actually Enjoy

It's simple. No complicated instructions are needed.

1. If the shirt is dirty with mud, just rinse it with water and let it dry.
2. That's it. No oiling. No rust removal. Ever.
