Premium Butted Chain Mail Coif

Chainmail Coif

Each incredible chainmail coif is painstakingly and skillfully created by hand using 5/16" inner diameter rings. Our craftsman use the most popular European style called 4 into 1. Each circular link intersects with four others, to form a continuous blanket of metal ring protection. Like the originals the wire for our steel chain mail is traditional mild steel, which tends to bend when struck, absorbing the blow, rather than shattering, as hardened steels do.

Butted Chainmail

The butted chainmail rings are made by closing the ends of each individual ring and pushing them close together. The ring stays closed from the springness of the steel.

Put on your chainmail Coif and add a matching Hauberk (item #22-SHIRT) and head off to the next renaissance fair!
