Aluminium Chainmail Skirt Riveted 10mm 16 Gauge

The aluminium chainmail skirt is a practical and comfortable lower-body armor inspired by traditional medieval times. Historically, chainmail skirts were worn by knights and soldiers to protect the hips and upper legs with freedom of movement. They were often paired with hauberks or breastplates to create a complete suit of chainmail armor.

This skirt is made using 10 mm round rings in 16 gauge thickness, in an alternating pattern of dome riveted and flat solid rings. This riveted chainmail construction gives it a strong structure with flexibility. The waistband with adjustable ties helps secure the skirt comfortably around the waist.

Unlike historical steel versions, this modern version is crafted from aluminium, making it significantly lighter and easier to wear for long durations. Aluminium was not used in medieval times, but it has clear advantages for today’s use. It is lightweight, rust-resistant, and does not require oiling or heavy maintenance. This makes it ideal for LARP, stage use, films, theatre, and other productions where comfort and practicality are important.

The bright and clean finish of aluminium also gives the skirt a polished, authentic look without the upkeep of traditional steel armor.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:

• No oiling required due to rust-resistant aluminium
• Wipe with a dry cloth after use
• Store in a dry place
• Avoid excessive bending or crushing
• Keep away from sharp impacts to maintain ring shape

Note:Our aluminium chainmail skirt is handcrafted, link by link, from thousands of interlinked rings, for exceptional historical accuracy, strength, and artistry of traditional methods.
As each piece is assembled 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 desired, can be easily made using basic pliers and a spare ring, preserving both integrity and historical authenticity.
