Medieval Chainmail Cap, 10mm Aluminum, with Rubber Rings, 14 Gauge

Medieval Chainmail Cap, 10mm Aluminum, with Rubber Rings, 14 Gauge

This

medieval chainmail cap

follows the tradition of

European fighter from the 12th to 14th centuries

and offers protection for the head, neck and shoulders in an age when steel ring armor dominated the battlefield. This headdress is made with

14 gauge aluminum butt rings

with a

10 mm inner diameter

mimicking the density and drape of traditional steel chain mail without its excessive weight.

A unique feature of this piece is the integration of

rubber rings

woven into the structure of the chainmail. These flexible components provide

greater elasticity and comfort

while maintaining tension in the fabric. This hybrid construction method offers a

modern advantage in flexibility

keeping the historical idea intact.

The classic cap design includes full draping over the

head, shoulders, and upper chest

and the upper chest, allowing it to be worn alone or under a helmet. The flared lower edge mimics surviving examples from medieval Europe, providing coverage to vulnerable areas while ensuring freedom of movement.
