Stainless Steel: Armour for the 21st Century

The greatest advantage of this Lorica Hamata is undoubtedly its material. Forget about constant oiling and battling rust!

Key Benefits of Stainless Steel

• Corrosion Resistance: This armour will not rust, even if you get caught in the rain. It will remain bright and clean.
• Minimal Maintenance: No need to spend hours cleaning and preserving your mail. You can dedicate your time to training or the battle itself.
• High Strength: Stainless steel is tough and provides reliable protection.
• Attractive Finish: The bright, clean lustre of the metal gives the armour an impressive appearance.

Authentic Design and Construction

This armour is not only practical but also faithfully replicates historical examples. The sleeveless, mid-thigh cut allows for maximum freedom of movement. Its most dominant feature is the characteristic shoulder doubler, which reinforces protection for the upper torso. This mantle is trimmed with dark brown leather and is fastened at the chest with a stylish brass "S"-shaped hook that connects to two studs. The mail fabric itself combines flat, dome-head riveted rings with solid, flat stamped rings with a 9mm inner diameter, a construction method that ensures the entire armour is exceptionally strong.

Did You Know...?

The Romans adopted chainmail from the Celts, whom they encountered during their expansion into Gaul. They were so impressed by its effectiveness that they adopted it, standardized its production, and the Lorica Hamata subsequently became the standard-issue armour for a legionary for over 600 years, making it one of the longest-serving pieces of armour in military history.

How to Care For Your Hamata (It's Easy!)

Thanks to stainless steel, maintenance is a breeze:

1. Cleaning: After use, simply wipe off any dirt. If it's heavily soiled, you can safely rinse it with water (and a little soap if needed) and let it dry thoroughly.
2. Storage: Store it in a dry place, ideally hung on a strong hanger or mannequin to maintain its shape.
3. No Oil Required: You NEVER need to oil this armour!

Size Chart

Measure yourself carefully to select the correct size. Remember to account for the tunic and any light padding (subarmalis) you plan to wear underneath.
