Product description

It is available in the sizes M, L and XL.The chest circumference is measured including a gambeson (subarmalis).
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.
