Chainmail Gorget Round Rings Round Rivets Alternating 6mm 18 Gauge

Protect and complete your medieval armor setup with this Riveted Chainmail Gorget, made from 18 gauge mild steel with 6 mm rings. The construction uses alternating round riveted rings and round solid rings, creating a dense and durable chainmail structure around the neck and upper shoulders.

A genuine leather lining sits around the neck for comfort, while adjustable leather straps and solid brass medieval-style buckles help provide a secure fit. Its natural steel finish gives the gorget a traditional appearance suitable for Reenactments, medieval events, LARP, costume, stage productions and historical displays.

18 Gauge Mild Steel

This Medieval Chainmail Neck Armor is constructed from 18 gauge mild steel rings with an approximately 6 mm internal diameter. The smaller ring size creates a closely woven appearance while retaining the characteristic flexibility of chainmail.

Alternating Riveted & Solid Ring Construction

The chainmail uses alternating round rings and round rivets. Riveted rings are closed with rivets rather than simply having their ends pressed together.

This provides a more secure ring closure than butted chainmail. The riveted construction helps reduce the likelihood of individual rings pulling apart during repeated use and movement.

Genuine Leather Neck Lining

The upper portion of the Riveted Chainmail Collar is finished with genuine leather where the gorget rests around the neck.

This leather section creates a softer contact surface between the steel mail and the wearer, helping improve comfort during extended wear at events.

Adjustable Leather Straps

Two genuine leather straps allow the gorget to be adjusted around the neck. Multiple pre-punched holes provide different fastening positions, making it easier to achieve a secure and comfortable fit.

Solid Brass Medieval Buckles

The leather straps are secured with solid brass buckles with a traditional medieval-inspired shape. Brass provides a distinctive contrast against the natural steel chainmail and brown leather while maintaining the historical character of the Medieval Neck Gorget.

Natural Steel Finish

The mild steel rings have a natural finish that complements medieval armor, helmets and other period-inspired equipment.

Because mild steel can develop surface rust when exposed to moisture, proper maintenance is important for preserving its appearance and condition.

Protective Oil Coating

The gorget is supplied with a protective layer of oil on the steel rings. This is applied to help prevent rust during shipping and storage.

Before wearing the gorget, wipe away excess oil with a clean, dry cloth. Occasional light oiling is recommended, after use. Always make sure the chainmail is completely dry before storing it.

Uses & Applications

This gorget is suitable for medieval and Renaissance costumes,Reenactments, LARP, stage and theatrical productions, film and photography costumes, Renaissance fairs, armor collections and decorative displays.

Care & Maintenance

• Wipe away excess protective oil before first use.
• Keep the mild steel rings clean and completely dry during storage.

Note: Each medieval Chainmail Gorget is meticulously handcrafted, link by link, from thousands of interlinked rings, delivering 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 reflect 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.
