Product information "Bishop's Mantle with leather straps and buckles"
Bishop's Mantle made of Flat Rings, with Wedge Rivets, mixed

A bishop's mantle is a chain mail collar covering the neck, the shoulders and the upper part of the chest and back. It was particularly favoured by the German Landknechte (mercenary soldiers) in the 15th and 16th centuries and is woven similarly to a mail coif. The shape of this piece of chain armour explains its name, as it greatly resembled the very wide-cut collar of a bishop's mantle.

The bishop's mantles made by Ulfberth are modeled on historical examples. They feature a jagged edge. A riveted leather liner protects the area around the neck and the neckline is adjustable by means of straps and genuine late medieval brass buckles.

The FWM chain maille type is a variant of the European flat ring mesh. It consists of a row of wedge riveted flat rings followed by a row of punched rings of equal size. This alternating technique, which was not only applied in the Middles Ages but also in the Antiquity already, could save a great deal of work as only every second ring needed to be riveted. The weave is 4 in 1.

However, the riveting by means of wedge rivets (triangular rivets) only made its appearance in the late Middle Ages. The mail FRW andFWM mail types are thus only suitable for late medieval re-enactment.

- Mixed mesh: alternating solid punched rings and wedge riveted flat rings
- Large enough to cover the shoulders
- Jagged edge
- Inner ring diameter: approx. 8 mm
- Ring: approx. 1.6 mm edge
- Finish: natural (lightly oiled)
