Product description
The hauberk is constructed from riveted and punched flat rings with a thickness of 1,8 mm and an inner diameter of 8 mm.
It is available in the sizes M, L and XL. The chest circumference is measured including a gambeson (subarmalis).
Chainmail shirts such as these were worn from the early Middle Ages until the 14th century by wealthy Vikings and other Germanic peoples, medieval knights, and well-equipped infantry. Long chainmail shirts were known as hauberks. From the second half of the 14th century, the haubergeon or small hauberk was also worn. Haubergeons are shorter and often have half-length sleeves.
Leather laces may be employed to easily attach chainmail coifs and armour parts to the chainmail shirt. The sleeves may also be tightened around the arm and elbow with leather laces, resulting in less play and greater freedom of movement.
