60 Inch Soldier Grade Mail Haubergeon

The 60 Inch Soldier Grade Mail Haubergeon includes a shorter chainmail shirt with partial sleeves. The haubergeon, meaning Little Hauberk, was often worn under a plated hauberk in the 14th century. 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.
