Head and neck protection was essential in medieval warfare, providing critical defense against sword strikes, arrows, and blunt force impacts. Chainmail coifs, collars, mantles, gorgets, and aventails were worn by knights, soldiers, and warriors to safeguard vulnerable areas around the head, throat, and shoulders while maintaining flexibility and mobility. Our collection of chainmail head and neck protection includes coifs, ventail coifs, camails, collars, bishop mantles, gorgets, and helmet aventails, crafted using historically accurate methods. We offer construction in butted, flat riveted, round riveted, and stainless steel rings, ensuring options for both authenticity and modern durability. These pieces are ideal for SCA combat, historical reenactments, LARP, theatrical productions, and collectors seeking museum-style replicas.
We provide a wide range of chainmail collars and mantles in multiple historical configurations. Customers can choose 4-in-1 or 6-in-1 ring weave patterns for different levels of protection and authenticity. Our collars are available in fully closed designs or single-buckle fastening styles, and we also offer bishop mantles for extended shoulder and upper torso coverage. These pieces can be paired with coifs or worn independently for added neck protection.
Our chainmail coifs are available in several historically inspired styles, including 13th-century coifs with full head and face coverage, as well as standard coifs with round, triangular, or rectangular mantles. For enhanced facial protection, we offer front and side ventail coifs, with optional leather-backed ventails for comfort and stability. These designs replicate those used in medieval jousting and battlefield combat.
We offer a wide variety of chainmail gorgets for throat and upper chest protection, along with chainmail aventails designed to attach to medieval helmets. These pieces are ideal for recreating authentic knightly armor setups or enhancing modern combat helmets for reenactment use.
All head and neck protection items can be selected from our ready-to-ship inventory or custom-made with over 450 variations in wire type, ring size, weave pattern, and finish. We work with mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and titanium wire, allowing customers to choose between battle-ready durability, lightweight comfort, or decorative display pieces. Finishes include oiled, blackened, polished, and rust-resistant stainless steel.
