Product Details

The haubergeon was basically a short or long sleeved maille shirt and was a very versitile garment. Because of this, the basic style was worn across a range of cultures from the Ancient times right through to the Renaissance. So it was both highly successful and popular. It can be worn standalone or in conjunction with overlying rigid armours such as a brigandine, coat-of-plates or metal plate armour.

It comes in 2 variaties - full sleeve and half sleeve. 

The haubergeon illustrated here is my own personal full sleeve Haubergeon from Lord of Battles. It is in "L" size and will fit a wearer with up to a 54" chest including the underlying padding. It is made from flat ringed wedge riveted maille with alternating solid links and has a blackened finish. I have dagged the edges of the hem to make it more unique and I since taking this photo I have added a row of brass links to the dagged edges for a more decorative finish.

Note that the garment needs to be worn over a thin gambeson (our gambesons are not suitable to be worn under maille comfortably) or thick undertunic to prevent chaffing and to absorb blunt force impact and still be fairly loose fitting so that it can be taken on and off easily and provide maximum free movement while being worn. So the sizing must take this into account.

We offer haubergeons in sizes M, L, XL and XXL as well as half length sleeves and full sleeve options.

Depending on the size and type of sleeves, the prices of our haubergeons range from $750 to $1250.
