Discover chainmail in all types: unrivetted, fully riveted, aluminum and various ring diameters. Perfect for reenactment and LARP.
Mail shirts are among the most recognizable forms of medieval protection and are still used in reenactment, LARP, and historical education. At Celtic WebMerchant, you will find a wide range of mail shirts and mail components for both decorative use and intensive combat applications. Our collection ranges from lightweight, unrivetted mail for costumes and festivals to fully historically riveted mail in various ring diameters for serious reenactors. This ensures there is a suitable variant available for every budget and project.
Why so many names for a chainmail shirt? The difference lies in the size. The hauberk reaches knee height and covers the arms completely. The Haubergeon is shorter, offering more freedom of movement but reaches halfway down the arms and to the hips.
Those seeking historical accuracy can choose from mail shirts with round or flat rings, and from ring diameters ranging from 6 mm to 9 mm. Smaller inner diameters offer more protection and align better with medieval finds, while larger rings are more affordable and ideal for LARP. Mixed riveted mail — combining closed rings with riveted rings — is also available for those looking for a strong yet affordable solution.
For modern, lightweight use, you will find aluminum mail shirts and models that combine aluminum and rubber for extra flexibility and wearing comfort. These variants are perfect for film productions, cosplay, and events where long wearing times are important. Additionally, we offer mail coifs, chausses, gorgets, and loose components that allow you to fully personalize or repair your armor.
