🛡️ What Is a Riveted Chainmail Aventail?

An aventail is a flexible section of mail attached to or worn with a helmet to extend coverage around the neck and shoulder area.

Unlike rigid plate armor, chainmail is made from interconnected metal rings, allowing the material to drape and move with the wearer. When combined with a compatible medieval helmet, an aventail creates a distinctive transition between the helmet and the rest of the armor harness.

This Medieval Riveted Aventail uses a combination of solid rings and riveted flat rings arranged in a 4-in-1 pattern, giving it the recognizable appearance of traditional riveted mail armor.
