Aluminium chainmail made from 9mm riveted links. Every single link has been hand riveted and unlike other riveted mail this is as durable and lightweight. Aluminum may look very shiny and therefore it is important to have riveted for that authentic look.

Mail was invented some time in the mid 1st millenium BC, but it is unknown where and by whom it was first used. Several patterns of linking the rings together have been known since ancient times, with the most common being the 1-to-4 pattern (where each ring is linked with four others). In Europe, the 1-to-4 pattern was completely dominant.

This suit of mail is linked in a 1-4 pattern.
