Chainmail gorget

$225.00

A chainmail gorget is a piece of armor designed to protect the neck and throat. Historically, it was used in the medieval period, primarily as part of a knight’s or soldier’s armor, often worn underneath the helm to prevent injury to the vulnerable neck area. The gorget was made from rings of metal (like steel or iron) woven into a mesh pattern, a technique known as chainmail.

Neck Protection: It guards the neck, throat, and sometimes parts of the upper chest from slashing or stabbing.
Material: Usually made from steel or aluminum rings, but historically iron was common. Some modern versions use more lightweight materials like stainless steel.
Design: It can range from simple circular or U-shaped designs to more complex constructions. Sometimes, it includes a plate or leather at the back for added protection or comfort.
Functionality: While primarily defensive, the gorget also served as a functional piece, allowing for better movement of the head and shoulders.
