Hauberk, unriveted, galvanized 9 mm

Product description

The hauberk is crafted from 1,6 mm thick zinc-plated butted round rings with an inner diameter of 9 mm. The rings are handwoven in a four-in-one pattern. The hauberk has long sleeves and reaches to the knee.

It is available in the sizes L, XL and XXL. 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 called 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 attach chainmail coifs and armour parts to the chainmail shirt with ease. The sleeves can also be tightened around the arm and elbow with leather laces, resulting in less play and greater freedom of movement.
