Medieval Chainmail Skirt – 17 Gauge Riveted Steel Apron Armor

Description

Step into history with this Medieval Chainmail Skirt, designed to provide essential lower-body protection during battle. Whether worn beneath plate armor or over padded clothing, this apron-style skirt offers both historical accuracy and functional defense.

Each ring is forged from 17-gauge mild steel with a 9 mm inner diameter, arranged in a traditional flat riveted pattern. The dome rivets secure every connection, making the construction durable and impact-resistant—ideal for HEMA sparring, stage use, or live-action setups.

The split-front design enhances mobility for walking, kneeling, or riding while maintaining full frontal coverage. A wide adjustable fabric waistband allows for a customized fit across multiple sizes.

This skirt reproduces the craftsmanship and practical design of medieval and Viking-era mail, combining flexibility with robust protection.
