Care Instructions

• After each use, wipe clean with a dry cloth to remove moisture and sweat.

• Apply a light coating of oil to steel rings to prevent rusting.

• Store in a dry environment; avoid prolonged humidity.

• For long-term storage, use a breathable cloth or linen bag.

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.
