This medieval chainmail half-sleeve shirt is made from 9 mm flat dome riveted rings alternated with flat solid rings. Made from 17-gauge mild steel, it gives a strong balance between protection and comfort.
The alternating riveted and solid ring pattern of the Chainmail Half Sleeves reduces stress on the riveted links, which increases the longevity . The flat dome rivets give a secure closure, preventing rings from opening under tension during activities.

The European 4-in-1 weave is historically accurate. This interlocking pattern of the Chainmail Half Sleeves gives proper weight distribution and flexibility, for the movement of the shoulders and torso.
The half-sleeve configuration was commonly used when warriors wanted greater arm movement, during mounted combat or swordplay.
The 9 mm flat riveted and solid-ring weave was considered a premium method of chainmail construction in medieval Europe. Chainmail shirts like this were worn beneath plate harnesses to protect vulnerable joints and gaps.

Note: Our Chainmail Half Sleeves is meticulously handcrafted, link by link, from thousands of interlinked rings, for exceptional historical accuracy, strength, and unmistakable artistry of traditional methods.
As each piece is assembled entirely by hand, you may occasionally notice a rivet that sits slightly proud, feels subtly looser than others, or even a missing ring. Such small variations are a natural hallmark of genuine, artisan-made mail, just as in the Middle Ages, and show the human care invested. Any adjustment, if needed, can be easily made using basic pliers and a spare ring, preserving both integrity and historical authenticity.
