Enhance your medieval helmet with this historically inspired chainmail aventail, crafted from flat 9mm mild steel rings and round rivets for robust protection. The alternating construction of riveted and solid rings offers both authenticity and functional resilience, closely mimicking historical mail patterns from the 13th to 15th centuries.

This aventail is securely attached to a natural leather band, allowing easy lacing onto a helmet using holes or eyelets, perfect for Spangenhelms, Norman helmets, or Great Helms. Whether you’re part of a reenactment group, stage performer, or LARP warrior, this aventail adds both historical accuracy and battlefield readiness to your kit.

Note: Our chainmail is meticulously handcrafted, link by link, from thousands of interlinked rings, for exceptional historical accuracy, strength, and the unmistakable artistry of traditional techniques.

Because each piece is assembled entirely by hand using authentic methods, you may occasionally notice a rivet that sits slightly proud or feels subtly looser than others. These minor variations are a natural hallmark of genuine, artisan-made mail, just as they were in the Middle Ages and show the human care invested in every garment. Should adjustment ever be needed, it can be easily done using basic pliers and a spare ring, preserving both integrity and historical authenticity.
