Reach for the Medium Black Chainmail Shirt next time you want an added layer of protection for your precious body during battle. This black chainmail shirt is perfect for LARP events, Renaissance fairs, and medieval reenactments. The rings of this butted mail shirt are constructed of 16 gauge mild steel. The rings form a 4-in-1 pattern that consists of four chainmail rings woven through another ring. Butted mail is the most economical construction style of mail and has limited historical precedent. It is fine for general costuming and roleplaying use, but is not recommended for weapons-contact reenactment. Ideal for non-contact LARPers, this shirt provides a truly authentic appearance.
Wear this chainmail armour over one of our gambesons for greater comfort and safety.

It’s a bit on the heavy side, but not nearly as bulky as a full length hauberk. It works best if you have another type of armor that protects you below the waist.
