Price range: $179.99 through $299.99
This chainmail half shirt is made using 9 mm round riveted rings, alternated with solid flat rings for extra strength and flexibility — a historically accurate method used in medieval armor. Crafted from 18-gauge mild steel, the rings are linked in the traditional European 4-in-1 weave, giving both durability and easy movement while worn.
The blackened finish helps protect the steel from rust and adds a bold, dark appearance, ideal for film, stage, and LARP where a low-shine surface looks more realistic under lighting.
Designed to be worn over a padded gambeson or arming jacket, this half shirt covers the torso, shoulders, and arms, offering solid protection while being lighter and easier to wear than a full hauberk.
The alternating riveted and solid ring construction follows authentic medieval techniques, reducing strain on the rivets while keeping the mail strong and reliable during reenactments or performances.
Measurements
Ring Inner Diameter: 9 mm
Wire Thickness: 18 gauge (≈ 1.2 mm)
Fit: Suitable for most sizes when worn over padded clothing
Care Instructions

Store in a dry place away from moisture and humidity.
Avoid abrasive cleaning, which can damage the dark patina.
Note
Each Chainmail Half Shirt is hand-riveted by skilled craftsmen using alternating solid and riveted rings. Small variations in color, finish, or ring alignment are normal.
