Ragnar Oiled Chainmail Hauberk

Face off against your opponents on the battlefield wearing the Ragnar Oiled Chainmail Hauberk. This medieval armour makes a foundation for Viking, Crusader, and fantasy warrior outfits.

This chainmail hauberk is made from 16-gauge mild steel rings with an oiled finish. The oil helps protect the steel against rust and corrosion. Each round steel ring has an inner diameter of 9 millimeters, creating the distinctive interlocking appearance associated with medieval mail armour.

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.

This chainmail shirt features long sleeves that extend down the arms. The sleeves become narrower toward the cuffs, creating a more fitted profile around the forearms and wrists.

For the best comfort and fit, wear the Ragnar Oiled Chainmail Hauberk over a padded gambeson or other arming wear. Pair it with protective armour pieces to build a complete look. Its classic steel appearance works great for Viking warriors, Crusaders, mercenaries, knights, 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.
