Flat Ring Chainmail Leggings Chausses Hoses, Riveted and Alternating, ID 6 mm, Mild Steel

Description

Step into the world of medieval warfare with our flat ring chainmail leggings. These chausses are not just historical replicas; they are an authentic representation of the protection utilized by knights and high-ranking sergeants during the 12th and 13th centuries. Originally depicted on the iconic Bayeux Tapestry with William the Conqueror in 1066, these chainmail chausses were once a symbol of status and strength, reserved for the elite warriors of their time.

Crafted meticulously by hand, these leggings are composed of 18 gauge mild steel rings, each boasting a diameter of approximately 6 mm. To enhance durability and structural integrity, the rings are expertly riveted using DOME RIVETS — a hallmark of traditional craftsmanship. The distinctive design features a strategic alternation between the rings and solid flat rings, which not only reinforces the material but also creates a visually striking pattern that echoes the artistry of ancient armor.

Measuring approximately 66 cm in width at the top and 35.5 cm at the bottom, with a total length of about 96.5 cm, these chausses are designed to cover and protect your legs while providing unmatched mobility. The measurements reflect the product laid flat, ensuring you have an accurate representation of their dimensions before making your purchase.

For optimal adjustability, our chausses come equipped with a set of leather straps at the back. Adjusting these straps makes it easy to tailor the fit to your body, providing maximum comfort whether attending reenactments, historical festivals, or simply enhancing your medieval costume collection. You’ll appreciate not just the functionality but the authentic medieval feel they bring to your ensemble.

Before you begin your adventure, it’s important to note that each pair is coated with a layer of protective oil. This temporary coating effectively guards against corrosion and rust, giving you the peace of mind that your investment is safe during storage. A simple wipe with an oil remover or a dry cloth will ready your leggings for immediate use.

These flat ring chainmail leggings are perfect for history enthusiasts, renaissance fair participants, and anyone looking to stand out in costume events with authentic medieval armor. Wear them with pride, knowing that you are not only embracing a piece of history but also investing in a durable and stunning accessory that complements any knightly attire.

Elevate your historical wardrobe today with our flat ring chainmail leggings — a blend of artistry, tradition, and functionality that stands the test of time.
