2 DAY PRE-ORDER CHAINMAIL SALE!!!!

I am putting in an express order for chainmail. In this industry, that means you get it in a month or 2 instead of 6-8 months.

I am giving you all a chance to order any Mild Steel chainmail we carry for 25% off! If I have it in stock, you get it right away. If you do not want it right away, you can pay half down now and pay the other half when it comes in and ships to you.

This includes all 9mm flat ring riveted steel, 6mm round riveted and 6mm flat ring riveted maille. Sorry no butted maille. If it is already on sale, you get either the 25% off or the sale price; whichever is better.

Either way, you get a great deal.

Mention the sale when you order.

You only have 2 days to do it though as I have to put the order in.

I hope and pray my wife will let me order my riveted chausis!

[Sir Ulrich]

Awww missed it ._. Heh gotta wait for the next sale I suppose. That maile looks awesome, very close to the "real deal".

[Sir Wolf]

i almost had enough money saved up for the sale price, but then i went and blew it on a 1903 Springfield

[Sir Ulrich]

The sale got extended extended and I got enough saved up to buy it. Dunno if I should get a full hauberk or the shorter haubergeon. Considering i'm only 5 8 and I think the longer one would be overkill. I just like the longer sleeves cause they seem more "tightly formed" to the arms. I could just buy the shorter one and extend it with rings myself as needed.

[Sir William]

Oh my...I needed to be a member here some time ago, look at that deal!  Better late than never, I always say...there'll be other times.  Question, the blackened versions, were they treated against rust or do they need to stay oiled up?

[Sir Edward]

I think the blackened ones will be slower to rust, but you'll still need to oil them up. I think. Stainless is of course more expensive but will be relatively maintenance free. Ice falcon's stainless has a darkened color too, at least on some of it. The stainless riveted chausses I just got from him have a very dark natural steel color.

[Sir Ulrich]

I just hope when mine arrives it isn't rusted THAT will be a big bummer. Anyone know how to store mail properly? I don't want mine to end up rusting on me....

[Sir Edward]

It shouldn't be rusty on arrival. It comes with an oily/greasy substance on it that's quite filthy.

I actually haven't put much thought into storage since most of what I own is aluminum or stainless (only my voiders and fauld are mild steel). I think some sort of spray-on oil-based sealant would be ideal. I think that's worth investigating.

[Sir William]

Keep it oiled, wrapped in an oilcloth and stored away from the elements; I have an old steamer-style trunk in my war chamber that I used to keep a blackened hauberk in.  The biggest thing is that wherever you store it is climate controlled; moisture being the invasive little baddie that it is.

[Sir Brian]

You could always just throw a desiccant bag into your storage container.

i keep my mail in a burlap sack or on the carpet or in a old stereo stand. never had a problem with rusting. now i do clean my mail and wipe it down after each use.

[Sir William]

How do you clean yours?

[Sir Ulrich]

Considering the rust problem with my helmet I may exchange it for stainless... I don't wanna deal with oil and rust, Maybe it is worth the extra 400 bucks...

[Sir Wolf]

i just oil mine every once in a while. i had 2 bad cases of rust. i put the mail in a sand bag and moved it around every so often for a week or so. then wiped it down and oiled it. looks fine.
