Made for combat, this mail tunic is fashioned from blackened mild steel rings woven in the classic 4-in-1 pattern—balancing strength, flexibility, and authentic battlefield style. The armpits are reinforced with riveted mail, providing extra protection at key stress points where armour takes the heaviest wear.

Constructed from 16-gauge wire with 10 mm butted links, this haubergeon delivers dependable defence without sacrificing mobility. Field repairs are simple—damaged rings can be swiftly replaced with spare steel links, keeping you battle-ready at all times.

Mail itself has a long and varied history. Invented sometime in the mid-1st millennium BC, its exact origin remains unknown. Several linking patterns existed across ancient cultures, but the 1-to-4 configuration—where each ring interlocks with four others—proved the most effective. 

In Europe, this pattern became the standard, enduring for centuries as the hallmark of a true warrior’s defence.
