FWM Coif, Flatring wedge riveted/solid, ID 8mm, natural
– Fully battle-ready –
This mail coif is well sized and fully covers the neck and shoulders. It has an authentic square facial opening. Maille coifs were used from the Dark Ages up to late medieval times, sometimes together with a helmet. We recommend wearing a padded arming cap underneath.
The FWM chain maille type is a variant of the European flat ring mesh. It consists of a row of wedge riveted flat rings followed by a row of punched rings of equal size. This alternating technique, which was not only applied in the Middles Ages but also in the Antiquity already, could save a great deal of work as only every second ring needed to be riveted. The weave is 4 in 1.
However, the riveting by means of wedge rivets (triangular rivets) only made its appearance in the late Middle Ages. The mail FRW and FWM mail types are thus only suitable for late medieval re-enactment.
