Step into the armor of medieval warriors with this short half-sleeve chainmail hauberk, crafted to deliver both authenticity and performance. Forged from mild steel flat rings measuring 9 mm internal diameter and 17 gauge thickness, each link is round riveted with alternate solid rings. This method of construction provides excellent strength and resilience while maintaining the flexibility of the chainmail.

Unlike a full-length mail shirt, the short half-sleeve design offers reduced weight and greater mobility, perfect for archers, light infantry of the medieval battlefield. Its historically accurate design makes it not only a trust able piece of armor but also an impressive addition to any medieval collection.

Whether you’re preparing for LARP battles, SCA combat, HEMA practice, stage performance, or historical themed events, this hauberk delivers the right balance of protection, comfort, and authenticity.

Care Instructions

Lightly oil after each use to prevent rust
Store in a dry, ventilated place
Wear over a padded gambeson for comfort and extra protection
Clean with a dry cloth; avoid harsh chemicals

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.
