Product description
This hauberk is made of 1,6 mm thick butted round rings with an inner diameter of 8 mm. The rings are handwoven four in one. The hauberk has long sleeves and reaches to the knee.
It is available in the sizes M, L and XL.The chest circumference is measured including a gambeson (subarmalis).
Chainmail shirts like these were worn from the early Middle Ages until the 14th century by wealthy Vikings and other Germanic peoples, medieval knights, and well-equipped infantry. Long chainmail shirts were called hauberks. From the second half of the 14th century, the haubergeon or small hauberk was also worn. Haubergeons are shorter and often have half-length sleeves.
Leather laces can be used to easily attach chainmail coifs and armor parts to the chainmail shirt. The sleeves can also be tightened around the arm and elbow with leather laces, resulting in less play and more freedom of movement.
