A mailcoat, also known as a chainmail shirt or hauberk, is a type of armor made from interconnected metal rings, providing protection while allowing flexibility and mobility. It typically covers the torso and can extend to the arms and sometimes the thighs. Mailcoats were commonly used in medieval warfare, offering a balance between defense and weight, making them effective for soldiers and knights. They were often worn under plate armor for added protection.
