Bishop's Mantle made of riveted flat rings

bishop's mantle is a chain mail collar covering the neck, the shoulders and the upper part of the chest and back. It was particularly favoured by the German Landknechte (mercenary soldiers) in the 15th and 16th centuries and is woven similarly to a mail coif. The shape of this piece of chain armour explains its name, as it greatly resembled the very wide-cut collar of a bishop's mantle.

The bishop's mantles made by Ulfberth are modeled on historical examples. They feature a jagged edge. A riveted leather liner protects the area around the neck and the neckline is adjustable by means of straps and genuine late medieval brass buckles.

The FRR chain maille type: This particular mesh is a European chainmail type exclusively composed of flat rings. All rings are closed by means of round rivets with round heads. The weave is 4 in 1. This type is called FRR (= Flat ring Round Rivet heads).
