Mail Armor Shirt

From the Celts of 300 BC to 18th century Asia, mail was one of the most prized items a warrior could own. The “Foe of Swords ” probably derived the name “mail” from the Latin “Macula” meaning net. This shirt features 16 gauge links combined in the “international” pattern, with 4 links through a 5th, which was common to all European mail. Faithfully copied from examples in museums and private collections, the diameter of each outer link is about 7/16”, and the inner link diameter is about 3/8”. Mail shirts fit up to a 54” chest, 33” long shirt, sleeves are approximately 18” and hang to just below the elbows on average height warriors. We recommend keeping this butted mail shirt oiled when not in use.  Express delivery not available on mail. Mail Shirts add $6 each additional s/h.
