Mail was invented some time in the mid 1st millenium BC, but it is unknown where and by whom it was first used. Several patterns of linking the rings together have been known since ancient times, with the most common being the 1-to-4 pattern (where each ring is linked with four others). In Europe, the 1-to-4 pattern was completely dominant.

This suit of mail is linked in a 1-4 pattern.

A hauberk is a maille knee length tunic.

Coif - mail hood

 PLEASE NOTE The coif on this suit has a pointed neckline not round as shown in the image.

  1. Light and value for money

    Posted by Phill L on 3rd May 2010

    As the description says, this is fine for combat as long as you don't mind relatively regular repairs, although I've never had to repair the coif.

    If you want maille that is a lot stronger and will not need repairs look to the riveted varieties.

    Does have a gray, galvanised look.
