Medieval Chainmail Coif 9mm 18g Flat Ring Round Rivet Blackened With Brass Trim

This Chainmail Coif is a striking blend of functionality, durability, and medieval authenticity. Crafted from 9mm flat rings, 18 gauge, each ring is secured with round rivets for superior strength, ensuring the coif can withstand the rigors of reenactment combat, stage performance, or LARP. Unlike butted mail, riveted construction provides historical accuracy and greater resilience against splitting, making it ideal for serious reenactors and collectors.

The blackened finish not only adds a dramatic, battle-worn character but also helps resist rust, giving the coif both an aesthetic and functional advantage. What makes this piece truly stand out is the ornamental brass edging, each ring carefully worked into the border, creating a contrast against the darkened mail. This decorative trim shows the prestige of knights or high-ranking warriors who adorned their armor with precious metals as a sign of status and valor.

Designed to cover the head, neck, and shoulders, this coif offers reliable protection while maintaining excellent mobility. Its riveted construction ensures it can endure demanding use, while the brass trim elevates it beyond a mere armor piece into a statement of medieval artistry. Whether you’re stepping into a reenactment battlefield, performing on stage, or displaying it as part of your collection, this coif embodies both strength and grandeur

Measurements:

Care Instructions:

• Store in a dry place after use to prevent rust.

• Lightly oil the rings with machine oil for long-term storage.

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.
