Beginning in the Dark ages chainmail was a reliable source for protection from dangerous weapons and was used for the military until the Renaissance period. Chainmail gave protection against the enemy's cutting weapons when worn during times of war. These replicas are made of the same heavy steel as the originals and are fully functional pieces that are wearable!
Each item faithfully reproduces the styles common to the Knights of the 15th and 16th centuries. Approximate Measurements: 52" across chest, and about 32" from top of shoulder to thigh. The chain mail rings are 1/2" in diameter and butted and the steel is 18 gauge.
Our chain mail shirt and hood are wrinkle free even after a hard day on the battlefield.
