Mild Steel Flat Ring Riveted Chainmail Sleeves (Pair) – 9mm

"A warrior?s sword arm must move without bind or burden, yet remain guarded against the shearing bite of steel." Osric, Keeper of the Hearth & Forge

These paired full sleeves and shoulder defences offer an authentic solution for the man-at-arms seeking mobile protection. Built from honest mild steel, the mail is woven using alternating flat rings secured with neat round rivets, boasting a classic 9mm internal diameter. This traditional alternating construction lends both structural integrity and a distinctive visual rhythm across the limb, yielding a smooth finish that catches the light naturally during muster.

In the heat of a melee or reenactment bout, full coverage counts for naught if the armour resists your swing. Here, the interlocking rings yield fluid articulation, draping cleanly over your gambeson or arming doublet to safeguard vulnerable gaps at the shoulder and arm. The flat rings sit closely together, dispersing the force of blows during combat drills while permitting unrestricted rotation at the elbow and shoulder joint.

Whether outfitting a harness for renaissance fairs, living history campaigns, or historical sparring practice, this pair stands ready for the muster. For optimal field service, secure them firmly to an arming doublet using durable leather points to bear the weight properly across your shoulders. Treat the mild steel with a light coat of oil between engagements to stave off damp and preserve your mail against the elements.
