Riveted Chainmail Hauberk 9mm 17 Gauge Flat Ring Round Riveted

This riveted chainmail hauberk is crafted with 9mm flat rings, round riveted in alternating rows with solid flat rings, like the European mail from the 12th to 14th centuries. Each ring is individually dome-riveted by hand, for maximum strength and minimizing the risk of failure due to impact. The alternating pattern of riveted and solid rings makes the mail lasting, flexible and historically accurate. This construction is prized among enthusiasts who prefer a durable hauberk chainmail.

The flat-ring design with alternating solid reinforces the mail as well as resembles original European mail preserved in museums. This chainmail hauberk gives a denser and more protective weave than butted mail, for excellent resilience.

Finished in natural or black mild steel as per choice with a light oil coat, the hauberk maintains a traditional medieval look with basic corrosion resistance. Designed with long sleeves and a mid-thigh length cut, it gives a generous coverage for comfortable and safe wear. Whether used as a mail hauberk, chain mail hauberk, or styled with darker armor pieces such as a black chainmail hauberk, it gives excellent versatility.

This riveted chainmail hauberk is both a functional armor and a collector’s piece of history.

• Prevent Rust: Since this hauberk is made of mild steel, keep it lightly oiled after use.

• Cleaning: After wear, wipe with a dry cloth to remove sweat and moisture. For heavier cleaning, use a mild soap and warm water, then dry thoroughly before re-oiling.
