Medieval Chain Mail Shirt And Coif: Squire, Ready My Mount!

Posted on by

Battle: it can come at you in the blink of an eye. So why not be prepared for combat with this medieval chain mail shirt and coif available from the Medieval Warrior Store on Amazon (affiliate link). The original under armor is waist length and comes in three sizes: medium ($70), large ($90), and X-large ($100). Obviously, I plan on wearing all three sizes on top of each other for maximum protection.

I just bought an x-large because I don’t really have the funds to buy one of each size, but I’m wondering if it will really be able to withstand a sword attack. I’ve got the sneaking suspicious it might not, but I also have the sneaking suspicion that after one too many beers this weekend I’ll know for sure.

Could you imagine wearing this and actually besting a dragon and rescuing a beautiful princess from its clutches? I daydream about it often, but it always ends with my wife riding that same dragon to chase me down and burn me alive with its fire breath. C’est la vie.

Knights of the Round Table Watch: One Land, One King, One Watch

Posted on by

The Knights of the Round Table Watch is so awesome you’ll swear that Merlin created it using dragon’s breath. It was made by watchmaker Roger Dubuis. I guess it beats a Lady of the Lake watch, because this one isn’t wet all of the time, while it tries to get you to take a sword every hour on the hour.

It is self-winding and features the twelve intricately crafted bronze knights of the round table with their swords drawn to mark the hours. This watch would be useless for Merlin, since he ages backwards, but for you and me, it’s a sweet piece of wrist candy. Or it would be if any of us could afford it.

You probably have to go on a quest to find the Holy Grail before you can get one.
