Chainmail provided a number of benefits to those who wore it. In addition to being easy to get in and out of, chainmail provided a high degree of protection while still allowing for high levels of mobility. This awesome high quality chainmail coif (headpiece) is made of hundreds of 18 guage steel 8mm inner diameter rings in the classic 4 in 1 pattern. The coif has an open front section, to give you great visibility, and drapes over the entire neck, onto the shoulders. It includes the aventail (neck cover) and thus covers the sides, back and front of the wearers head. The chainmail will contract or expand as needed, so it looks great on just about everyone. It's great for SCA or LARP events, for going to Renaissance Fairs, or for costume parties. Maille garments in Europe and surrounding areas used wedge rivets. The maille is also light weight since we use 18 gauge wire with 9 mm ID. Forehead circumference (stretched tight) 26 inches
