These Chainmail Gauntlets are inspired by an original artefact from the 16th century, The splinted plate cuffs, however, are absent in the original find. The gloves consist of butted rings (6 mm diameter each). The chain mail parts are sewn into gloves made of supple but firm suede leather.

On each cuff, there are 6 metal plates (each made of 20 gauge mild steel) that are firmly affixed to the leather cuff. The total length, from the top of the middle finger to the end of the cuff, is approximately 36.5 cm. These gloves are available in one size that fits most.

These chainmail backed leather gauntlets with steel plates shield your wrists and the backs of your hands much more effectively than plain leather gauntlets. Gauntlets like these were worn from the Middle Ages and through the Renaissance period, so you can wear them with a wide range of garb and still be historically accurate. Great for re-enactment or training where you want the warmth and comfort of a glove, but with the additional armour protection.
