Medieval Chainmail Coif – 9mm 18 Gauge Round Ring Round Rivet with Alternate Flat Solid Rings (Blackened Mild Steel)

Defend your head and neck with this robust medieval chainmail coif, inspired by armor worn across Europe from the 12th to 14th centuries. Hand-linked using 9mm round rings in an alternating pattern of solid and riveted connections, it balances protection with flexibility.

Each ring is formed from 18-gauge mild steel, providing enough weight and durability for realistic wear in battle enactments or training. The blackened finish not only enhances its dark, battle-worn appearance but also offers protection against rust.

Designed to cover the crown, face line, and upper shoulders, this coif offers substantial coverage without restricting movement. Whether layered under a helmet or worn alone, it delivers historical accuracy and dependable defense.

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.
