Medieval Chainmail Coif – Butted Round Ring Mail Armor (16 Gauge, 9mm Rings)

Description

Worn by knights, foot soldiers, and mercenaries throughout the Middle Ages, the chainmail coif was a critical component of medieval armor. This historically inspired reproduction features butted round rings arranged in a 4-in-1 European weave, delivering reliable protection and excellent flexibility at an affordable price.

Crafted from 16 gauge high-tensile mild steel, the coif provides head and upper neck defense without the weight of riveted alternatives. The naturally oiled finish guards against rust while allowing the steel to age beautifully over time.

The V-shaped facial opening is cut for enhanced visibility, breathability, and comfort—especially useful when worn with a nasal helm or over a padded arming cap. The draping coverage over the shoulders ensures this coif layers well with gambesons or plate armor.

Whether you’re building a Norman kit, outfitting a LARP character, or completing a historical armor display, this coif is a practical and visually authentic choice for any medieval enthusiast.
