Medieval Chainmail Coif - Mild Steel with Solid Brass Trim | Zinc-Plated Hood for SCA, LARP

Medieval Chainmail Coif - Mild Steel with Solid Brass Trim | Zinc-Plated Hood for SCA, LARP

This medieval chainmail coif is a faithful reproduction of the iconic armor hood worn by European knights and warriors for centuries. Each coif is handcrafted from durable, tapered, tempered steel rings and measures 8mm wide, assembled in a 4-in-1 pattern that provides flexibility and protection on the battlefield.

The galvanized finish prevents rust and corrosion, preserving the rings' shine and strength. Along the edges, a solid brass trim creates a contrast that highlights the craftsmanship and authenticity of medieval chainmail. Designed for historically themed events, SCA combat, LARP battles, and stage productions, this coif comfortably covers the head, neck, and upper shoulders. The open-face design allows for clear visibility while maintaining the traditional look and coverage associated with medieval chainmail hoods.
