Stainless Steel Flat Ring Riveted Chainmail Hauberk

"A warrior who spends half his campaign scouring rust from iron rings soon learns the true value of stainless steel." Osric, Keeper of the Hearth & Forge

When taking to the field for an extended muster or enduring unpredictable weather on campaign, maintaining traditional mild steel mail can become an exhausting chore. This hauberk resolves that timeless grievance by employing handcrafted eighteen-gauge stainless steel rings, measuring approximately nine millimetres across. Formed with an alternating pattern of solid flat rings and round dome-riveted links, the weave provides formidable structural integrity and shear resistance while retaining the fluid flexibility required in close-quarters melee.

The dome riveting ensures every link holds steadfast against physical impact, sparing you from catastrophic ring burst during active reenactment combat or demanding roleplay. Because the stainless steel composition resists corrosion outright, this shirt requires none of the messy grease or oiling that plagues carbon steel armour. You can stow it damp, march through steady rain, and emerge ready for inspection without a speck of rust marring your mail.

For optimal wear at the lists, never allow the full weight of the hauberk to hang entirely from your shoulders. Slip it over your arming doublet, don your heraldic surcoat, and securely fasten a sturdy leather belt at the waist. This simple adjustment gathers the mail above your hips, redistributing the burden across your core to grant maximum mobility and effortless endurance throughout the day. Tailored to fit varying builds, this robust mail coat is available in sizes medium through double extra-large to equip any warrior seeking genuine defence and authentic presentation.
