Handmade18 Gauge Chain Mail Shirt for Medieval Knight

The chain mail shirt was better than expected. I tried to visually compare it while shopping and thought it was of lessor quality but was extremely happy to see that it was extremely well made. The cheap shipping made this MUCH cheaper than others of similar quality. It arrived very quickly. Be advised that it comes lightly oiled. This caused me to become oiled when I put it on. I suggest an undershirt with long sleeves. It is large enough to fit a 6'1" 230 pound man. (I really can't understand how they are able to make a profit on this!)

Very heavy shirt and nice looking It will get comments and be a nice effect. However, the rings are not very tight, so do not use for real action. Some of the rings at the edges (neck and sleeves) have come lose and fallen off but does not seem to impact the integrity. All and all, nice shirt for the price.

It looked nice initially, but unfortunately the chainmail couldn’t stand up to even the most basic of use. Trying it on the first time just to test my Ren Faire outfit rings were already falling off. After one day of just walking around the armpits have already fallen apart nearly entirely. If you only want it for one day it’ll do alright, otherwise I’d look elsewhere

Got this for my 16 year old grandson for his birthday. He is a State Wrestler 220 lbs., Varsity football player, straight A honor student. He has wanted the chain mail for a couple of years. I also purchased the hood. He wears his football head cover under it. Otherwise his hair would get tangled in it. He already had a helmet. He wears it to school with his kilt he got last year!! Only Gunnar could pull this off!! I have to say it looks pretty cool. I should have sent a picture with this. The chain mail fits him perfectly. I was a little concerned that it would be to tight. However, it looks like it was made for him. It weighs 40 lbs.. I guess if you work out 5 days a week you can handle it. The coif is a darker color with gold trim purchased from Armory Replicas. It looks great together. Also got some books of armor and battles. The sword his sister got for him completes the look. His parents got him the Japanese robe he wanted. That's a whole different wardrobe.

The chain mail arrived 3 days after I ordered it which is 4 days before the first estimated delivery date! To add to this, it was shipped across the country and arrived in perfect condition. The quality is AWESOME for the price. If you look elsewhere you will see the same quality item going for $100+. This is perfect for costuming and cosplay. I highly recommend this item for such purposes.

This is a great chainmail shirt for the price, but it is not very big. It fits like a man's size large, so if you are XL or bigger, it won't fit. It is much more of a costume piece than for active wear, so if you are going to use it for active LARP it may not hold up under the arms. Still it looks awesome!

Quality as expected, works well

Too small. And the you get charged for returning.
