Product description

The chainmail coif appeared at least as early as the 11th century AD. People wore chainmail coifs either on their own or beneath a helmet. Many depictions, such as those in the Morgan Bible from 1250, show the chainmail coif fitting closely around the head. Leather laces were sometimes used at the top to improve the fit, while additional laces could fasten the lower edge of the coif to the gambeson or hauberk, keeping the coif securely in place. For extra comfort, a textile cap or arming cap could be worn underneath the coif.

This chainmail coif is based on originals from the (early) Middle Ages, seen on medieval works of art like illuminated manuscripts. It is made of aluminum which makes it extra low weight. The steel is blackened as extra protection against moisture. The coif is made of riveted flat chainmail rings. The rings have a circumference of 1.27 cm, traditionally woven in the 4-1 pattern. Due to its low weight, this coif is perfect for historical costumes.
