Long Sleeve Chainmaille Shirt
I made this amazing period specific Chainmaille Hauberk in early 2014 for a wonderful historian who needed it to complete his outfit of handmade period pieces of armor. I would love to make you one just like it! I start with raw 12 gauge Mild Steel, then bend it into circles and then cut each link by hand before assembling them one at a time using my trusty needle nose pliers. To make a shirt like this is takes between 10,000 and 15,000 links and weighs between 38 and 45 pounds. Yes, this is armor for sure.
