Step into the world of medieval knights with this Chainmail Coif, a faithful recreation of the mail hoods that defended warriors across Europe in the High to Late Middle Ages. Covering the head, neck, and shoulders, it brings the battlefield aesthetic of steel ring armor without the heavy burden of real iron.
Crafted from 14-gauge aluminum rings with a 10 mm internal diameter, this coif mirrors the density and drape of historical steel mail. To improve comfort, flexible rubber rings are seamlessly woven into the structure, giving the piece stretch and mobility while keeping the weave tight. This hybrid design makes it both practical for long wear and visually authentic.
The coif’s full mantle and flared lower edge are modeled after period examples, ensuring excellent coverage while leaving freedom of movement. It can be worn on its own or layered under a helmet for a complete medieval look—perfect for reenactments, LARP campaigns, stage productions, or educational displays.
