Cota Cap of 300188

Chainmail Cap

This chainmail cap is made according to the "international" pattern.

From the Celts of 300 BC to the 18th century in Asia, chainmail was one of the most prized items a warrior could own. The "enemy of swords" probably derived the name "mail" from the Latin "macula" meaning net. This shirt features 16 gauge links in the "international" pattern, with 4 links across a fifth, which is common to all European chainmail.

Faithfully copied from examples in museums and private collections.

Can be worn with or without a helmet. A must-have with any Viking, Medieval or Renaissance outfit.

We recommend keeping this chainmail oiled at all times.

The diameter of each outer link is about 1cm and the diameter of the inner link is about 0.95cm.
