Flat Ring Chainmail Medieval Half Sleeves Shirt Haubergeon, Riveted and Alternating, ID 9 mm, Stainless Steel

Description

This stainless steel chainmail haubergeon is a sturdy and authentic recreation of the mail shirts worn by knights and soldiers from the High to Late Middle Ages. Crafted from 9 mm, 18-gauge flat rings, each round-riveted for strength and alternated with solid rings for added stability, it perfectly balances historical design with modern practicality.

Made from stainless steel, this haubergeon offers excellent rust resistance and easy maintenance, unlike traditional mild steel versions that require frequent oiling. The half-sleeve design reduces weight and increases airflow, making it comfortable to wear during long reenactment events or combat training.
