Chainmail Shirt and Coif Set - Large

Step into the world of medieval knights with this Medieval Chainmail Shirt and Coif Set, an impressive addition to any historical costume, Renaissance fair outfit, or LARP character. Designed to capture the unmistakable appearance of medieval armour, this two-piece set includes a short-sleeved chainmail hauberk and matching coif for head and neck coverage. Whether portraying a knight preparing for battle, a castle guard standing watch, or a warrior on a medieval adventure, the interlocking steel rings create an authentic-looking silhouette that brings historical clothing and armour displays to life.

Chainmail, historically known as mail armour, was worn by warriors across Europe for centuries and became one of the most recognisable forms of protection during the Middle Ages. Medieval knights commonly wore mail hauberks over padded garments, with mail coifs providing additional coverage for the head, neck, and shoulders. The familiar European 4-in-1 weave, in which each ring passes through four neighbouring rings, was widely used in historical mail construction. Although the design of this set draws inspiration from traditional medieval armour, its modern butted ring construction is intended for costuming and recreational use rather than historical combat protection.

Constructed from steel rings with a protective zinc finish, this chainmail shirt and coif set offers the substantial appearance of traditional metal armour while helping resist corrosion. The rings feature a European 4-in-1 butted weave, creating a flexible garment that drapes naturally over the body. The short sleeves provide freedom of movement and allow the addition of separate arm protection, while the generous fit accommodates layering over a padded gambeson or other medieval clothing. The large hauberk measures approximately 34 inches from shoulder to hem and fits a chest size of 48 to 50 inches, with the natural flexibility of chainmail allowing some adjustment. Complete with a matching coif, this medieval chainmail armour set is an excellent choice for Renaissance fairs, theatrical productions, LARP adventures, historical displays, and medieval costume enthusiasts seeking the distinctive look of a fully armoured knight.
