Butted Steel Chainmail Armor – 9mm Round Rings, 16-Gauge Spring Steel, Half Sleeve Design

Description

Crafted for warriors seeking authenticity and resilience, this Butted Steel Chainmail Armor brings a historically accurate look with practical defense. Built from 9mm round butted rings formed from 16-gauge spring steel, it offers both historical form and functional protection.

Inspired by the armor worn between the 11th and 14th centuries, this Butted Steel Chainmail Armor shields the torso and arms while preserving mobility. It’s an excellent choice for fighters, performers, or medieval enthusiasts who need reliable gear that breathes well and moves easily.

The traditional 4-in-1 weave pattern distributes impact while layering comfortably over padded garments such as gambesons. Lightweight yet robust, this Butted Steel Chainmail Armor holds its shape while giving your kit an unmistakably battle-hardened appearance.

NOTE ON CRAFTSMANSHIP

Each hauberk is assembled by hand from over 10,000 interlocking rings, a time-honored technique passed down through centuries. Minor ring movement (5–10 rings) may occur due to the butted style—this is a part of traditional wear, easily maintained with small adjustments.
