Pair of Jack-Chains, 2mm steel

Pair of Jack-Chains with mid rib, 2 mm steel

A pair of hand-crafted, 2 mm thick steel jack-chains for sewing, looping, riveting or lacing to gambeson sleeves.

Jack-chains were an important part of infantry armour in late medieval times.

As foot soldiers were usually not protected by plate armour, but wore a padded doublet, so-called arming-jack or gambeson, the jack-chains were fastened to the jacket's sleeves to protect the arms.
