Mail Collar made of flat rings with round rivets, mixed

A Mail Collar is a chainmail collar that covers the neck, shoulders, and upper chest and back. It was especially popular with mercenaries in the 15th and 16th centuries and is woven similarly to a chainmail coif. The name "bishop's collar" comes from its shape: a bishop's collar was very wide, closely resembling this chainmail armor.

Ulfberth's chainmail collars are based on historical models. They have serrated edges. The neck area is riveted to a leather strip and adjustable with straps and authentic, late medieval brass buckles.

The FRM weave: This is a European flat-ring chainmail weave, which was produced and used in various forms and with different ring diameters from antiquity to the late Middle Ages. It consists exclusively of flat chainmail rings. Rings and punched rings are alternately linked in a 4-in-1 weave. This weave was and is less labor-intensive than fully riveted weaves, as only every other ring is riveted. The riveted rings are fastened with round rivets, which form a round, hemispherical rivet head. We abbreviate this authentic weave as FRM, after the English term "fringe weave."
