We have over 300 suits of chainmail in stock.
Metal riveted tunic
These suits are made various materials to suit every application - from riveted steel and aluminium, to metal-plated string mail and plastic chainmail (as used in films such as the Lord of the Rings trilogy and the Kingdom of Heaven).

Terry Goulden developed metal plated stringmail for Berman & Nathans in 1960s. The string specially made for Arms & Archery is waterproof not to shrink as it did in the 1960s.

For durability and light-weight chainmail in metal we recommend riveted alloy flat or round linkage.

Finishes can be distressed, black, silver, bronze, gold and gunmetal.

Steel quality these days is ideal for the actors who wish to be more realistic.
