60 Inch Soldier Grade Mail Hauberk

The tunic of mail called a hauberk supplies great defensive coverage with its full sleeves and knee-length design. The 60 Inch Soldier Grade Mail Hauberk protects the body during battle without restricting movement. Butted mail is the most economical construction style of mail, as the cost of labor-intensive riveting is avoided. Butted mail has limited historical precedent but is fine for general costuming and role-playing where strict construction authenticity is not a requirement. It is not recommended for weapons-contact re-enactment as mild steel butted rings may be distorted by heavy weapons contact. The rings are formed from round section wire and have a 10 mm internal diameter. This item is crafted from 16 gauge mild steel. Construction is in the 4 in 1 pattern that consists of four chainmail rings woven through another ring.

Wear this chainmail armour over one of our gambesons for greater comfort and safety.
