These mail chausses/hoses are directly inspired by the type of protection worn by the knights and some sergeants in the 12th and 13th centuries. They appear for the first time on William ‘the conquerer’ on the Bayeux Tapestry in 1066. By that time it was a luxury and that’s not a hazard if only Duke William himself is wearing those chainmail hoses and so many of the other Norman knights were not. By the opening of the 12 and 13 centuries, it was becoming standard equipment of a medieval knight perfectly completing the long sleeves knee length hauberk making the knight almost invulnerable.
PAINSTAKINGLY handmade from dome riveted 16 gauge round rings, each with a diameter of approx. 10 mm, it is an ULTRA-LIGHT piece of chainmail armour. The light mail looks like real armour but without the heavyweight of real chainmail. That’s why it is especially popular in LARP, ren fair and in MOVIE PROP and THEATRE COSTUME.
