Chainmail Haubergeon (Half Sleeve Shirts)

Haubergeon literally translates as “Little Hauberk”. They were smaller and lighter than the larger hauberks and therefore easier and cheaper to manufacture. They would usually be waist length and would terminate at the elbow or shoulder. Hauberks are long sleeved chainmail shirts that often terminate at the knee, and have a split up the front and back to allow for riding horses. The name Hauberk comes from the Old Frankish word “halsberg” which originally described a small piece of mail that protected (“Bergen – to protect) the throat and neck (the “Hals”). Hauberks were expensive to manufacture, both in materials and in the labour time and skill required to make them. As such they were usually only worn by nobles and professional soldiers. The Bayeux Tapestry features Norman Knights wearing knee length hauberks with three quarter length sleeves. Their Saxon adversaries wore shirts of a similar design. Hauberks were in use in Europe until the 15th century when the advent of plate armour and better firearms led to its decline.

  • Half Sleeve Alumunium Chainmail Shirt - Large

    Be it in the legendary Viking wars or even the so-called “decisive” Battle of Hastings, knights and warriors always needed the highest form of protection; and when you reenact these wars, you have to make sure that you do too! This chainmail haubergeon will be just the fit for that!

The material is very forgiving of the size and shape of the wearer, conforming naturally to the body; the elasticity allows for unrestricted movement. The combination of comfort and great looks makes this a preferred mail type for theater, costume and movie productions, making it durable enough for LARP as well.
