The "Foe of Swords" probably derived the name "mail" from the Latin "Macula" meaning net. This coif features steel rings plated with brass for long lasting good looks. Faithfully copied from examples in museums and private collections for accuracy and authenticity. Our Brass plated coif can be worn under a helmet or by itself. The outer link diameter of each link is about 7/16” and the inner link diameter is about 3/8”. We recommend keeping this mail oiled at all times. The brass plating makes this armor look stunning, especially when the sun hits it. Pair this coif with the matching Brass Plated Chainmail Hauberk for a beautiful look.
