Description

Protect your head and neck with this Round Riveted Chainmail Coif, inspired by armor worn across Europe during the 12th to 14th centuries. Designed for both authenticity and performance, this medieval chainmail coif is constructed using 9 mm rings in an alternating pattern of round riveted rings and flat solid rings, for strength.

Each ring is formed from 18-gauge mild steel, for a reliable balance between durability and weight. The riveted construction helps prevent rings from opening under stress, while the solid rings reinforce the weave, making this battle ready chainmail coif more reliable than butted mail.

The blackened finish gives this chainmail hood a dark, battle-worn look.

Designed to cover the crown, sides of the face, neck, and upper shoulders, this coif provides excellent coverage without restricting movement. It can be worn alone or layered under a helmet, making it suitable for LARP, training, or display.

This Round Riveted Chainmail Coif is a dependable and historically accurate addition to any medieval armor setup.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:

• Store dry and well-oiled when not in use
• Wipe after each use to remove moisture or debris
• Reapply oil periodically to prevent rust
• Avoid exposure to damp environments

Note: Our chainmail is meticulously handcrafted, link by link, from thousands of interlinked rings, for exceptional historical accuracy, strength, and the unmistakable artistry of traditional techniques.

Because each piece is assembled entirely by hand using authentic methods, you may occasionally notice a rivet that sits slightly proud or feels subtly looser than others. These minor variations are a natural hallmark of genuine, artisan-made mail, just as they were in the Middle Ages and show the human care invested in every garment. Should adjustment ever be needed, it can be easily done using basic pliers and a spare ring, preserving both integrity and historical authenticity.
