Description
This Black Chainmail Half Shirt in Medium, Large, and Extra Large sizes is forged from mild steel rings, each 10/16 in diameter and butted together by hand. The half-sleeve design covers the chest and back thoroughly while extending partial protection over the shoulders, balancing defense with freedom of movement. The blackened finish not only adds a striking visual presence but also helps reduce glare on the field. Though lighter than full hauberks, this shirt still offers solid protection against cuts and thrusts, making it well-suited for reenactors and those stepping into the role of a medieval warrior.
