Built for warriors who need both agility and defense, this half Medieval Chain Mail Half Hauberk is crafted from thousands of 17-gauge flat mild steel rings, each connected in alternating rows of riveted and solid links. This construction enhances its strength while keeping the weight balanced for fast movement.

The natural oiled finish not only adds a weathered, authentic appearance. With a 9mm internal ring diameter, this mail shirt is well-suited for Viking, Norman, and High Medieval settings.

Designed to cover the torso and upper arms, this hauberk offers key protection where it counts—over gambesons or padded tunics. It’s ideal for those who prefer flexibility, whether you’re defending your holdfast or acting on the battlefield.

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.
