Lorica hamata - Roman Armour

The Lorica Hamata was the typical chainmail armour of the Roman legionnaire.

Delivery includes displayed shoulder doubling made of same material with leather border and authentic brass buttons and hooks. The leather has been vegetable-tanned.

The BTW chain maille type:

This particular mesh is composed of butted rings made of high-quality spring steel. Considering its excellent value at a fair price, it is perfectly suitable for unexperienced re-enactors who set store on good protection and solid quality. The weave is 4 in 1. 

This type is called BTW (Butted Tensile Wire). 

Although the natural finish allows rust to develop, it also gives the weave a genuine appearance.
