Product description
This hauberk is perfect for reenactment, wear it over your gambeson or leather armor for extra comfort. Combine it with a belt for better weight distribution. The optimal protection during battles! This hauberk consists of alternating flat rings and round rings with round rivets. The rings are braided in a 4:1 construction.
Chainmail shirts like these were worn from the 11th century onwards. This type of long chainmail shirt, also called a hauberk, features a split. The split provides extra comfort while riding a horse. 11th-12th century depictions show knights almost exclusively with a split in their hauberks. From the 12th to the 14th century, hauberks were worn both with and without splits.
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.
