Description
Crafted for strength and authenticity, this medieval chainmail skirt is constructed from 9 mm butted rings of 16-gauge spring steel, making it both durable and historically inspired. Designed to protect the upper legs and hips while ensuring flexibility, it is an excellent addition to any warrior’s armor kit.
Spring steel construction provides a significant advantage over standard mild steel, providing greater resistance to impacts, deformation, and long-term wear. This makes the skirt not only protective but also highly reliable for reenactments, LARP battles, SCA combat, or medieval themes.
The butted ring construction of this chainmail skirt offers a practical balance between authentic medieval appearance and affordability. Unlike riveted mail, where each ring is fastened with a rivet, butted rings are closed by simply pressing the ends together, making the armor lighter, more flexible, and easier to produce. This design is ideal for reenactors, LARP players, and collectors who want the look and feel of traditional chainmail without the added weight or cost of riveted construction.
Whether you’re portraying a Viking raider, a crusader knight, or a fantasy adventurer, this chainmail skirt delivers both protection and authenticity, blending seamlessly with gambesons, tunics, or plate harnesses. Handcrafted using traditional methods, each piece carries the spirit of medieval craftsmanship.
