Made by Breanne

Maille Made One Ring at a Time

Every piece of chainmail and scalemail at Asgardian Armory is made by hand by Breanne, who has been linking maille for more than 20 years. There are no machines and no shortcuts, just thousands of rings opened, woven and closed one at a time until the piece is finished.

That care shows in the drape. Good maille hangs and moves like heavy cloth, sits evenly on your shoulders and follows you when you turn. Whether you want a coif to finish a knight’s kit, a scale shirt that catches the light, or a few rows of scale to set off your leather armor, it is built to fit you and the way you will wear it.

Smaller pieces and chainmail jewelry are often on hand at Booth #211 during the festival season, so you can see the work up close before you order. Larger pieces are made to order, and Breanne can match the weave and finish to leather armor you already own.

What Breanne Makes

Chainmail and Scalemail Pieces

All types of designs, in the weave, pattern and colors you choose.

Coifs

Maille hoods that protect your head and neck and finish a knight or Viking kit.

Scale Shirts

Overlapping scales in rows that catch the light and move with your body.

Maille Accents for Armor

Panels, trims and inserts that bring maille into your leather armor.

Chainmail Jewelry

Bracelets, necklaces and smaller pieces, often on hand at the booth.

Custom Weaves and Patterns

Pick a weave, a pattern or a color scheme and Breanne will build it.

The Look of Real Metal

Scalemail That Shines

Scalemail is built from overlapping scales linked to a ring base, layered like the hide of a dragon. It catches the light every time you move and makes a statement whether it is a full shirt or a band across the shoulders of your leather armor.

Scales can be laid out in patterns, mixed in colors or kept classic and bright. Pair them with leather from the shop and you get armor that combines the shine of metal with the comfort of a fitted leather harness.

Every piece is made by hand under the Asgardian Armory name and proudly made in the U.S.A.

Choose Your Metal

Steel or Aluminum?

Steel

Strength and weight for battle-grade maille and a classic, historical feel. Built for LARP, combat and anyone who wants the real heft.

Aluminum

The look of maille without the load. Lighter on your shoulders through a long festival day and a great fit for costume and cosplay.
