Product Description

Handmade from 14 ga. anodized aluminum rings, stronger than 16 or 18 ga. aluminum chainmail. This aluminum chainmail shirt offers an appearance similar to steel but at one third the weight. More than 30,000 rings were used to make this item. Aluminum is much lighter than steel making for an easier time wearing it at 1/3rd the weight. However, it is also much weaker which results in rings pulling apart, the anodizing process strengthens the aluminum to minimize this. This shirt stretches approximately 30 inches from neck hole to bottom, on most adults this means it'll end around one foot below the waist. The sleeves will end at your forearms. A large will fit a 42 inch waist/chest. The pictured model is 6'1 inches tall and has a 33 inch waist. Chainmail largely conforms to your body shape within limits.

Working at reanacting, and at local ren faire as a Knight, Chainmail is light,and will hold up to meet and greet, but stage combat, and jousting is too much for it . If it were revieted it would be Great! For price its worth it! The Red Knight!

Looks good, but the rings started falling out of the bag on the first day. I could not locate where they came from and I wore the mail only once. It is very light and easy to wear all day. for the money you will be hard pressed to find low cost alu chainmail. Pluses - light weight, no maintnenance (oil etc), no rust, low cost, looks good. Minus - Rings fall out and bend easily, one size fits all.. I would recommend this again as the price to value was good.

If you are interested in owning a chain mail shirt (perfect for after work, I suppose), the anodized chainmail shirt is a great choice. The workmanship is excellent, and the leather trim along the hem is attractive and functional, since it ensures the shirt will not catch on other clothing when it is put on and taken off. One size fits many, since chain mail expands and contracts to fit various sized knights. At $170 (the price I paid) the shirt is an excellent value.

One thing to note--the head covering shown in the photo is not included! Plan your purchases accordingly.
