Product description
Around 1320, the camail emerged — a chainmail collar attached to the lower edge of the bascinet helmet to protect the wearer's neck. Camails featured a leather strip along the top edge with holes to insert the vervelles (metal pins) of the helmet. Thread a leather or waxed cord through the vervelles to secure the camail like a collar beneath the helmet. The chainmail was often attached to a padded gambeson collar, adding neck protection and greater comfort. Camails were commonly worn until the mid-15th century.
This type of camail was frequently worn in the Middle Ages alongside bascinets. You can find originals at the Wallace Collection in London, among other collections.
Made from 1,6 mm wide flat rings with an inner diameter of 8 mm, woven in a four-in-one pattern and riveted with wedge rivets. Attach it to a helmet using the 4,5 cm wide leather edge at the top. It weighs about 2,6 kg.
