This is a reproduction of German armour circa 1460 and 1500 with a corrugated and asymmetrical design. It is constructed from 18 gauge steel, and whilst that’s not ideal for re-enactment, it does make it lighter and more comfortable for LARP and theatrical use.

This item is not made to measure and therefore may require a final adjustment from the client for a perfect fit. Can be adjusted to 190cm tall and 48” chest.

Steel thickness may vary due to the handcrafted methods used in its manufacturing.

The Roman Lorica Hamata is directly inspired by Celtic design as the Celts are the people that have been credited for the invention of chainmail. The Lorica Hamata that we decided to reconstruct here still keeps a lot of its Celtic original traits making it perfectly suitable equipment for Roman or Celtic cavalrymen or even legionary of Caesar during the Gallic wars or any similar legionary fighting of Hannibal’s armies during the Punic Wars.

Meticulously handmade from sturdy 17-gauge MILD STEEL FLAT RINGS (diameter of approx. 9 mm), with alternating flat rings, intricately interlocked in a FOUR-IN-ONE pattern, this chainmail armour buffers against striking attacks. Genuine Leather belts and PURE BRASS adornments make it even more accurate to its original structure.
