According to Pinterest, "medieval" is having a "major moment" this year — searches for "Antique ruby ring" increased by 50 percent, for "castle house plans" by 45 percent, for "chainmail ...

This groundbreaking material, polycatenated architected materials (PAMs), takes inspiration from medieval chainmail while pushing the boundaries of modern engineering.

Chainmail is next, “but keep it more Paco Rabanne and less Nasty Gal. If you go too cheap it will come back to bite you very quickly,” she says. Rabanne’s classic, chainmail handbags, for ...

His equipment will include medieval chainmail atop a padded undercoat, leg plates, gloves, coif, full helm and even a sword and shield. Video produced by Alex Challies. Subsection.

The material resembles medieval chainmail at the molecular level and could be used in body armor. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission.
