This Chainmail hauberk is constructed from 10 mm internal diameter riveted round rings, each hand-linked in the classic European 4-in-1 weave pattern. Forged from 16-gauge mild steel, it delivers the perfect balance of durability and wearability. The natural oiled finish protects the rings against rust and preserves the authentic look of medieval battlefield mail.

Designed with full sleeves and extending to mid-thigh, this hauberk provides excellent coverage for the torso and arms. Worn over a gambeson or arming doublet, it forms the backbone of a medieval warrior’s defense.

The chainmail hauberk was a defining piece of armor in 12th to 14th century Europe. Its long sleeves and thigh-length design made it ideal for warfare, providing reliable defense without restricting movement.

The 4-in-1 riveted construction ensured resilience against slashing and blows, while still maintaining flexibility for swordplay, shield use, and horseback combat.

Care Instructions

Keep lightly oiled to maintain rust resistance.
Wipe clean after use and reapply oil before storage.
Store in a dry, ventilated environment.

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.
