FRW Chainmail Leg Protection/Chausses, 8 mm, flat ring wedge riveted

Chainmail Chausses were used as leg protection in the late Middle Ages. They were usually worn in addition to the plate armour, prevalent in those days. The body parts left uncovered by the plate armour would be protected with chain mail armour. Unlike the comparatively stiff plate armour, the Chausses are notably more flexible and fit much better to the body shape.

The chain mail chausses from Ulfberth® are supplied in pairs. They are now available in almost all chain maille types. They can be fastened as seen fit, e.g. with wire, fingerloop braids, leather strings and/or leather straps (not included in delivery). They can also be sewn on (leather) trousers.
