    SKU: AH6823
  • Crusader Mail Shirt

    SKU: AH6821

    This mail shirt, worn over the head and covering the arms and complete upper body and thighs, recreates the classic Crusader-era hauberk. Battle-ready construction and full coverage suit a Crusader-era knight or man-at-arms impression.

  • Viking Dagged Mail Shirt

    SKU: AH6812

    A mail shirt with a distinctive 'dagged' (scalloped or notched) lower edge, worn over the torso and upper limbs — worth correcting directly here, since older listing copy for this item mistakenly called it a 'Dagger Shirt,' when 'dagged' actually refers to the decorative cut of its hem.

  • Celtic Mail Shirt

    SKU: AH6813

    Mail armour is widely believed to have originated with Celtic smiths, whose riveted-ring construction techniques were later adopted and refined by the Romans as the lorica hamata. This reproduction recreates a Celtic-style mail shirt, battle-ready and covering the torso and upper arms. A genuinely foundational piece of armour history, predating the Roman adoption of the same basic technology.

  • Bishop’s Mantle, Collar Style

    SKU: AH6824

    The bishop’s mantle is a mail mantle worn over the shoulders, its distinctive draped shape said to resemble ecclesiastical vestments, giving the piece its popular name.

  • Chainmail Collar

    SKU: AH6876

  • Chainmail Lorica Hamata, Roman Mail Shirt

    SKU: AH6802

    The Romans used mail shirts, or lorica hamata, both with and without shoulder-doublet protection, generally worn by auxiliary troops during the Imperial period, though legionaries also made use of it.

This reproduction recreates that Roman mail shirt, battle-ready and suited to full-contact re-enactment combat.

Battle-ready construction suits full-contact re-enactment combat for a Roman cavalry impression.

  • Roman Centurion’s Mail Coat

    SKU: AH6803

    The Romans used mail shirts with and without shoulder-doublet protection, and this coat recreates the officer-grade version associated with the centurion.

  • Chainmail Gauntlets, Pair

    SKU: AH6175/A054

    Before plate hand armour developed, mail gloves offered the earliest widespread form of dedicated hand protection, extending the coverage of a mail hauberk down over the fingers. Woven from interlinked metal rings, mail gauntlets flexed naturally with the hand, offering good defence against cuts while sacrificing some protection against crushing blows compared to solid plate. This reproduction recreates that early mail hand protection as a matched pair, suited to an early-period or lightly armoured impression.
