The traditional European 4-in-1 weave is used to construct this riveted chainmail hauberk, which has solid flat rings for maximum durability with 9 mm wedge-riveted flat rings. This construction technique is like the actual medieval mail, helping in strength and appearance that knights relied upon in the 12th and 14th centuries.

The Chainmail Hauberk’s natural oiled finish gives it a more genuine look and offers some basic rust resistance. It offers great protection for reenactors, medieval warriors, and history buffs with its knee-length coverage and long sleeves.

Avoid prolonged moisture contact.

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.
