Product description
This hauberk is built to wear without a gambeson. The chain mail is tighter than most models, so you can wear it without padding for a long time. Riveted rings under the armpits keep the rings from accidentally opening during heavy movements.
Vikings and others wore short chainmail shirts like these 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 that point on, these 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. That makes them ideal to wear under armor.
Attach armor parts to the shoulders and arms of the haubergeon easily with leather laces.
