Historically offering additional protection to 15th century infantry soldiers, jack chains like these Rogue Jack Chains were added to padded arming jackets – or jacks – to guard the arms against slashing sword blows. Since these soldiers typically lacked plate armor, these additions increased arm protection significantly. The Rogue Jack Chains are crafted from 19 gauge mild steel with a polished finish for an excellent appearance that is perfect for LARPing. They are a set of two, one chain for each arm. Whether you are dressing as a historical soldier or a medieval rogue, these roleplaying jack chains make a great addition to your re-enactment ensemble.

To properly maintain your steel armour, always keep the metal pieces away from water and lightly oiled to prevent rusting. Occasionally clean the armour with metal polish and re-oil them. Leather care products must be used to maintain the leather fittings as well.

I’m VERY pleased with these. They arrived well packaged and oiled with no issues, and cords. Thick construction and adjustable, they’re going to look great once I add arming points to one of my gambesons. I highly recommend these.
