There is no connection between the rings. The wire bend is quite tight, but it isn't welded or riveted.
Certainly, if you have the proper tools.
I just got it, and it's enormous. I'm a big guy with a 22-inch head circumference (I don't wear hats, but the chart said size 7? ). I tried it on its own with a beanie underneath, and it fit perfectly.
It is constructed from non-toxic materials. While a katana slash might be defeated, a thrust is more likely to succeed. Also, the mail shirt was worn over a padded coat that absorbed the impact; your proposed experiment would most likely feel and affect your skin if you were struck by a length or rebar. This is a costume accessory! br>br>

Also, it's a perfect fit! Sorry for the phone, but I had to take my own pictures again. Fantastic with the Arming Cap in Black, and a great comfortable fit as well. The Coif is a great complement to the Total Outfit Thank you for the quick shipping and great service Armory Replicas is Awsome. Ty Lordofthehorse, 5 star Awsome.
I tried it out and discovered that, while it looks nice, it has a lot of flaws, such as links falling off after a few minutes of wear:
- The links aren't riveted together; instead, they're clamped together at their ends. After a few minutes of walking around the house, the links broke and fell to the floor. This also resulted in sharp ends that snagged my clothes as I moved around. This metal appears to bend far too easily.
- I can't get my face through the head hole because it's too small. This thing was digging into the bottom of my chin, despite the fact that I'm 5'6" and don't have a particularly large head. It was impossible to wear it without feeling uncomfortable. Also, don't even consider wearing the hood around your neck; it's far too tight to pull down.
- As you can see in the photo of the mannequin, there was less space. It's a lot smaller than the picture depicts. br>br>I returned this product because it fell apart within minutes of receiving it. Even if you're just buying it as a costume, be cautious.
This chain coif is well-made. To keep my hair from snagging in the ring butts, I bought a padded hat to wear underneath it. Unlike the black and brown coifs, this one isn't greasy. This could be due to the fact that the hat is either made of stainless steel or has a zinc coating. As I learned more about the metals that are used to make stainless steel vs iron, I discovered some interesting facts about the ingredient lists. Although stainless steel contains chromium, if you do not grease the black iron, it will rust. I'm not a big fan of greasy, stinky messes. This silvery coif is what I went with. br>On Amazon, you may come across the term "butter steel. " This hairstyle appears to be quite durable. Even though I didn't try very hard to pry the rings apart, they were stubborn. I imagine it could withstand a slashing attack, but I doubt it would hold up in actual combat. It weighs around 5 pounds and feels light for about 5 minutes before becoming heavy.
This was purchased for my son to wear to school as part of a living history museum project. It was exactly what he needed to elevate the less expensive parts of his costume and make it look more "put together. " " This appears to be exactly what we wanted - For the price, this is as close to an authentic look as you can get, and it's far superior to the really cheap cloth alternatives. When you first put it on, it feels a little heavy, but you quickly get used to it. I'd recommend wearing a beanie or something between your hair and your coif because it'll pull a few hairs out even if you only wear it for a few minutes. A beanie will immediately solve this issue.
Good quality, with only a few snaggable rings that are poorly closed, but otherwise a lovely creation. It's not quite as long as it appears in the photo, but it's long enough to cover my neck. The length of the cowl is six inches from the bottom of the face opening to the bottom of the cowl. Mine weighed in at four pounds. Because it's 125 pounds, it's possible they've shrunk it from other five-pounders. Here's an example of coverage that's more accurate:.
A quality coif like this would have cost $175 or more not long ago. See what I mean by looking through the old Museum Replica catalogs. Is it possible to use this as armor? Probably not; it's just a bunch of crooked links. However, it's a fantastic costume and a stunning display piece. My only criticism is that I have a large head, and the face opening isn't large enough for my head to fit through, so I can't wear it down around my shoulders like most people do. The face opening will need to be adjusted. If you don't want your hair pulled out and divots carved into your skull, go for the arming cap.
It's hilariously heavy, and it appears to have a lot of potential if you ever get into a sword fight. I'm assuming most people use it for costumes, as I do, and I haven't had any problems with it.
The chainmail coif was delivered to a very well-kept house. inside a standard Amazon box (! ), sealed bag (with desiccant packets) in a sturdy manufacturer's box, inside a standard Amazon box (! ) It has the appearance of aluminum, but it is VERY HEAVY. It has a protective feel to it. Covers the head as shown; however, if you want to be able to pull the hood back while wearing it, you may want to disconnect two or three rings at the bottom of the opening. The butted rings are tightly closed and do not snag. This is an excellent item at an excellent price that I would recommend to any LARP'er or for use with ceremonial garb for order members (Templars, Teutons, etc. ).
