The Armour Archive

Your Grace,

I was looking at the maille on your site and one thing you do not list is the weight of the armour. I wear a lot of metal as is and would like to know what size steel rings is the lightest.

I am set on riveted, and would like blackened stainless, however if mild is lighter I can blacken it myself.

Oh, I'm interested in a byrnie, listed on your site as a habergon (I believe) that would someone who wears a man's extra large shirt.

I will work on listing weights for the various maille. The stainless and the mild flat riveted are about the same weight. The 6mm is slightly heavier. The welded stainless is by far the lightest, although it is the least period looking. But from 10 foot away, it would be hard to tell.

Both the stainless and the mild flat ring are blackend.

I will have your size in a Haubergeon in around February or so. It is best to pre order now to make sure that you get yours as they go fast. We only take half down now and the balance upon shipping to you. All major credit cards are accepted.

LEt me know if you have any other questions.

Cheers!
