Description

Medieval Protection with a Classic V-Face Design: This expertly crafted Head Chainmail with a V-Face opening, for excellent visibility with the authentic look seen in medieval manuscripts and battlefield depictions. Whether you’re preparing for LARP or building your armour kit, this coif is historical as well as reliable.

Durable 10mm Mild Steel: Made from 10 mm butted 16-gauge mild steel rings, this coif gives flexible protection for costumes, and display. It gives strength with comfort, making it a great option for extended wear. Two finish options are available:

  • Blackened finish – adds corrosion resistance and a darker medieval aesthetic
  • Zinc-polished finish – bright, clean look for a classic knightly appearance. No oiling required.

Comfortable Fit for Helmets & Headgear: This Medieval Chainmail Coif fits comfortably under kettle helms, great helms, nasal helmets, and padded arming caps. The flexible mail drapes naturally around the shoulders.

Ideal for LARP & Collectors: Affordable as well as historically convincing, this coif is perfect for newcomers and experienced enthusiasts. Its butted formation gives classic mail appearance without the cost of riveted links, making it suitable for costume armour, LARP combat, or medieval role-play settings.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS of head chainmail:

  • Wipe off the oil coating before first use
  • Store in a dry place to avoid moisture buildup
  • Apply light oil occasionally to prevent rust
  • Avoid long-term exposure to humidity

Note

Each coif is hand-assembled, so slight variations in texture or ring alignment may occur. A thin protective oil layer is applied to the Black Finish before packing to prevent rust during transit.

Do not oil the zinc-polished Head Chainmail, as oil can dull the protective zinc coating and decrease its corrosion-resistant properties

Q: Will this chainmail coif fit comfortably under my helmet?

A: Yes, it’s designed to fit under most medieval helmets and sits comfortably over an arming cap or padded coif.

Q: Is the coif heavy to wear for long periods?

A: Made from 10 mm butted 16g mild steel rings, it has an authentic weight of about 2 kilograms.. Most users can wear it for several hours with proper padding.

Q: What is the difference between the blackened and zinc-polished finishes?

A: Blackened gives a darker, rugged look with better natural rust resistance. Zinc-polished is bright and traditional and requires no oiling maintenance so ideal for clean, classic medieval styling.

Q: Is this suitable for full-contact combat or HEMA?

A: This butted coif is great for LARP, reenactments, and light combat. Heavy-contact HEMA requires a riveted coif, which handles strong impacts more safely.

Q: Does the coif protect against rust?

A: The blackened finish comes lightly oiled for transit protection, and regular light oiling keeps it rust-free. The zinc polish mal does not need oiling , just keep it clean. 

Q: What head size does this coif fit?

A: It’s a flexible universal adult size, fitting most heads between 55–65 cm.

Q: Can I wear this coif without a padded hat underneath?

A: Yes, but a padded coif is recommended to prevent hair pulling and improve comfort. It also helps absorb shocks under helmets.

Q: How do I clean and maintain the coif after an event?

A: Wipe moisture off, apply a thin coat of oil, and store it completely dry. Avoid washing in water or keeping it in damp bags.
