Product description
Hauberks like this were worn by both the 9th century Vikings and the 13th century crusaders. This hauberk is made of unriveted round rings. The rings are made of mild steel and are woven together in a 4:1 construction. This means that 1 ring is attached to 4 other rings.
Short chainmail shirts like these were worn by Vikings and others in the early Middle Ages. They remained in use until the 11th century and made a comeback in the second half of the 14th century. From the second half of the 14th century, such short chainmail shirts were called haubergeons, a diminutive of hauberk, or long chainmail shirt. Haubergeons offer optimal protection and more freedom of movement than the hauberk. Therefore, they were also ideal to wear under armor.
Armor parts can be easily attached to the shoulders and arms of the haubergeon with leather laces.
