Step into the age of knights and warriors with this 8 mm riveted haubergeon, crafted in authentic medieval style. Each ring is individually riveted and alternated with solid flat rings, with a strong and flexible weave that looks like the period armor. Made from 18-gauge mild steel, this haubergeon delivers the quality needed for combat training, reenactments, or stage performances while maintaining comfort and mobility.

The classic 4-in-1 weave is responsible for both strength and flexibility, allowing the mail to drape naturally over a gambeson or tunic. With its half-sleeve design, it provides increased freedom of movement, making it a practical choice for carrying weapons or shields. The natural oiled finish showcases the raw, battle-ready appearance.

Haubergeons became a popular armor choice in the High Middle Ages, offering protection comparable to full hauberks while remaining lighter and easier to wear for long campaigns. The 8mm riveted weave with alternating solid rings was a construction method for reinforcing strength at vulnerable points while ensuring period appearance and functionality.

Care Instructions

Wipe clean with a soft cloth after use to remove sweat or residue
Apply a light coat of oil to prevent rust
Store in a dry, ventilated space and avoid sealed plastic or damp storage

If rust develops, gently clean with fine steel wool or a non-abrasive rust remover before re-oiling

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.
