Description

These mail chausses/hoses are directly inspired by the type of protection worn by the knights and some sergeants in the 12th and 13th centuries. They appear for the first time on William 'the conquerer' on the Bayeux Tapestry in 1066. By that time it was a luxury and that's not a hazard if only Duke William himself was wearing those chainmail hoses and so many of the other Norman knights were not. By the opening of the 12 and 13 centuries, it was becoming standard equipment of a medieval knight perfectly completing the long sleeves knee length hauberk making the knight almost invulnerable.

It is intricately HANDMADE from butted 16 gauge mild steel rings, each with a diameter of approx. 10 mm. It is this feature of being butted that makes it affordable and hence, popular in LARP, Renaissance fair and other medieval events.
