Ragnar Blackened Chainmail Hauberk

Step onto the battlefield with the dark and imposing look of the Ragnar Blackened Chainmail Hauberk. This medieval armour makes an impressive foundation for knight, Viking, Crusader, and fantasy warrior outfits. Layer it over arming wear to complete your armoured look for your next adventure.

This chainmail hauberk is made from 16-gauge mild steel rings with a blackened finish. The darkened steel gives the mail a rugged, battle-ready appearance that works especially well for hardened warriors, mercenaries, and darker fantasy characters. An oiled finish helps protect the steel against rust and corrosion while preserving its distinctive dark appearance. Each round steel ring has an inner diameter of 9 millimeters.

The steel rings are arranged in a traditional 4-in-1 weave. In this classic pattern, four rings pass through another ring to form a mesh of overlapping steel. The rings around the armpit area are riveted for additional durability in an area that experiences frequent movement.

Providing more coverage than a short sleeve hauberk, this chainmail shirt features long sleeves that extend down the arms. The sleeves gradually become narrower toward the cuffs, creating a more fitted profile around the forearms and wrists.

For the best comfort and fit, wear the Ragnar Blackened Chainmail Hauberk over a padded gambeson or other arming wear. Pair it with protective armour pieces to build a complete look. Its dark medieval style works great for Viking warriors, Crusaders, mercenaries, and fantasy characters.

Please note that this chainmail armour is handmade, so the thickness and other minor details may vary slightly from piece to piece. It is meant for LARP, costuming, and light reenactment.
