Durable Construction for Lasting Protection
The Riveted chainmail collar is handcrafted from 18 gauge mild steel using 9 mm internal diameter alternating flat solid rings and round riveted rings. The 9 mm rings create a flexible pattern that provides excellent coverage. The 18 gauge steel is strong and has a manageable weight, making it suitable for use during events.
The Riveted chainmail collar has a blackened finish, giving it a rugged medieval appearance which requires less maintenance than natural steel. This finish also helps reduce surface rust with proper care.
Decorative brass rings around the outer edge add an authentic historical look and attractive contrast.
History of the Chainmail Collar
The Riveted chainmail gorget was worn by soldiers and knights to protect the neck, shoulders, and upper chest, which were some of the most vulnerable areas in battle. Before full plate armor became common, mail collars helped defend against cuts, thrusts, and flying arrows.
Many medieval warriors wore chainmail collars beneath helmets and plate armor to close the gaps between different pieces of armor, for better overall protection.
Traditional Riveted Construction
This flat ring round rivet chainmail has the traditional medieval method of alternating riveted rings with solid flat rings. Riveted rings are individually secured with rivets, making them much stronger than simple butted rings.
A soft suede leather padded collar surrounds the neck to comfort and reduce rubbing during wear. Genuine leather straps with solid brass buckles allow easy adjustment and help keep the Riveted chainmail collar securely in place.
Ideal for Historical & Costume Use
This chainmail armor collar is ideal for historical reenactments, medieval combat, cosplay, stage performances, Renaissance fairs, costume events, museums, collectors, and display.
Care Instructions
- Wipe clean after each use with a dry cloth.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture.
- The blackened finish requires less maintenance than natural steel but should still be kept clean and dry.
Note: Our chainmail collar is meticulously handcrafted, link by link, from thousands of interlinked rings, delivering exceptional historical accuracy, strength, and unmistakable artistry of traditional methods.
As each piece is assembled entirely by hand, you may occasionally notice a rivet that sits slightly proud, feels subtly looser than others, or even a missing ring. Such small variations are a natural hallmark of genuine, artisan-made mail, just as in the Middle Ages, and reflect the human care invested. Any adjustment, if desired, can be easily made using basic pliers and a spare ring, preserving both integrity and historical authenticity.
