These chainmail leggings are meticulously handcrafted, inspired by the elegant protection worn by knights and sergeants during the 12th and 13th centuries. Each leg is constructed from 16-gauge aluminum, with generously sized domed riveted rings measuring approximately 0.39 inches (10 mm) in diameter. The metal is given an antique patina for a grayer, steel-like appearance, avoiding the stains common to untreated aluminum. This craftsmanship results in ultra-lightweight yet visually compelling armor, capturing the essence of authentic medieval equipment while ensuring ease of movement for LARP (Live Action Role Playing) and reenactments.
These greaves are reminiscent of the heyday of chivalry, first appearing on William the Conqueror in the iconic Bayeux Tapestry in 1066. They symbolize an evolution in armor design, offering the appearance of total protection without the added weight.
