These Renaissance Knight's chainmail costume gloves are a fantastic finishing touch to any crusader type costume! These are actual chain-mail - made of little inter-linked metal loops - and look great, but they are definitely a costume accessory and NOT meant as any kind of protective armor. 1 size fits most for adults laces up to fit a variety of sizes and will also fit larger (tween and teen) children. Great on their own, even better with the costumes, helmets and swords in our store!
