- Been a long time coming but I finally took a big step in my 13th Century Teutonic kit and tailored the sleeve. I hope this proves to be a good resource for anyone who may have been looking into this project. Comment, subscribe, and thanks for watching.

You are a complete legend. If life wasn't about to get in the way, I would get back into chainmail.
Dude, you should make a badass crest for that greathelm!
That would be great but on the other side a monk knight wouldn't have shown off in that way.
@@tubekulose source? Teutonic knights wore crests.
KCD music driving me crazy, cant wait to play as soon as the video finishes! :D
I've been working on putting together a 13th century Teutonic kit as well and I've gotta say, videos like this have been a huge help! My mail shirt just arrived last week and one of the first issues I noticed was the sleeves being way wider than necessary, but I remembered that you had this video and now the tailoring is well underway and hopefully soon I'll have some better fitting sleeves! Thank you!
Happy to hear the video has been helpful to you!! Would love to see the finished result of your project!
Just got a set of mail and it too has the "wizard sleeves". Thanks for making this video so i can understand how to tailor the sleeves better.
Glad I was able to help!
Really enjoyed this video. Great explanation of how to do these techniques.
Glorious good sir, beautiful work as always.
Well done. What you haven't done are armpit extensions. The reason for them being added is that whenever you raise your arm up, you also pull the entire mesh on your torso side. That adds the effort of lifitng a shield or a weapon up and tires you faster.
It makes such a huge difference, that looks incredibly good!
Wow you look so cool now 😍
So good where can i see some more pics of your armour sir!!! With integrated mail mittens it looks so much better

Fantastic video again there Mr. Penguin! Your crafting videos deserve far more praise than they get!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Project "don't look like a doofus in maille" for season 2021 saved! Now all I have to do is finally getting around to get my arming doubled fitted correctly... wait.. aww man...
You are really talented, I love your videos, and the ending was epic as hell, and you look so cool!!!
I'm still a wizard. And I totally didn't take inspiration from your channel name lol. What a quest you had!
Just want to say that this video was SUPER helpful. I went from being absolutely clueless to tailoring my sleeves, coif, integrating my coif, and integrating my gloves thanks to you! I've now got my full 13th Century knight kit up and running. Thank you so much!
Amazing work. Tailor my own mail sleeves by being simply cutting a slit and rivited it back up were I had already use temporary rings to let me know were to rivet.
Glorious hauberk!
Fantastic mate, do you have plans on an integrated coif? I'm also curious to see a don/doff video of you getting in and out of your kit
Eventually yes, and I have some work to finish on the chausses but I will do a video of putting on the armor.
Excellent work. Just been making some gloves (I used solid triangle rings for the edges so I could get as many stitches on each one as possible) and feeling inspired to tailor the arms on one of my shirts now.
lovely job mate ! you can be proud of yourself!! 👏👏
Awesome work.
Most impressive mod. Love it!
I love these sleeves. This is a major inspiration.
Amazing stuff love the vids
Nice job bro! Thanks for the informative take you the whole approach
Looks great Sam!
Magnificent work! Iconic look after all ;-)
look great well done!
This is most excellent... Great work!
This was immensely helpful. I'm not looking to tailor my sleeves persay but am going to be tailoring the body of my maille coat. I'm reenacting a 7th century frank and the maille shirt I'm wearing needs to be thigh length which it is but with no riding slits I find it binds a lot when I make long strides or crouch down so I intend on cutting slits and adding gores to the skirt section to facilitate movement more easily while at the same time taking in the chest so it fits closer to the body to help mitigate that unflattering pudge gut look maille so commonly gives its wearer lol again thank you for your upload and deus vult! If I wasn't a frank from austrasia I'd be a teutonic Ritter Bruder from Lothringen.
This is a pleasure to see. :D
Looks so badass with the mittens attached
Really nice result
The final result if glorious Sir.
Wow! I don't own any mail and don't plan on doing this anytime soon, but you took a complex process and just demystified it for me. The end product looks awesome. You have upped your game substantially.
Thank you, as someone with an interest in this time period myself (particularly the Teutonic Order) I've watched videos on your channel for awhile, learning how to make much of the kit myself and saving probably hundreds of dollars. I look forward to seeing more videos and learning more!
good work dude. I recently got a discount set of chain looking to spif it up. thanks for an excellent example.
this is a godsend for many, many people
Awesome work! Beautiful example of how mail should look. On the DIY point tho, can't you just do it for me? 😅😅
hello bro, great again!
Beautiful my friend. I wanted a video like this for a lot of time. You're a master of the chain mail and I love you armor. I'm happy for know your channel, because I see armors and manufacture techniques that are so ugly, but you are in other level. Thanks for exist
Nice keep the videos coming
You and everything medieval should do a collaboration sometime in the future. Keep it up lad!
More patient than I. Great work, though!
Yes... YES.. YEEEEAAASSS!!!
DEUS LO VULT! Thanks this video has been super helpful video!
Wow That Looks nice!
I hate it when Maille looks baggy
Très beau travail !!!
*BRO* that is beautiful work!!!!!!!! You look like something out of the morgan Bible. I'm working on a hauberk made of 9g mild steel riveted maille, so vid is really helpful.
p.s. look like you gotta good klonk on the helm;)
Great music choice :)
Thank you, i will buy some loose riveted rings to tailor mine.
Thank you so much
Liked for KCD music
Какие же тевтонцы классные!
Hi. First of all, thank you for this very informative and educational video, I'm very much enjoing your channels content.
Second, I would like to ask where do accuire your mail rings. For a time now, I've been experimenting on making chainmail and I would like to move on to making my own pieces of historical accurate mail armour for my reanactment.
Thank You.
After seeing this i haven't got anything else to say than Deus lo Vult !!!
Watch out wends, for now he is ready for war!
Should give your helmet some wings or even horns, give you that high rank and intimidating look.
Thanks m8!
My maille is a mess. I got it tailored, but there is a very visible seam where the cut of the sleeve and a haphazardly spliced square where the gusset is. Lots to learn.
I actually like the red and yellow yarn in the mail. It makes it look more decorative and flashy.
Thanks penguin.
How long did it take you to adjust these sleeves? I have some similarly baggy chain I want to adjust, but not a huge amount of time at the moment, and I've heard adjusting chain is a real ballache time wise
Took me about 50 hours just on the sleeves but it was also my first time with no prior tailoring experience. Probably would take a whole week if you chipped away at it after work or whatever it is.
How does the sleeves compare to other kinds of arms armor that you have? Specialy regarding confort and resistance to movement.
what shape is the arm hole before adding the sleeve?
also how much extra width do you add to the torso, it looks a bit roomy?
Out of curiosity, do the chainmail rings pinch the elbow pit? I've just finished working on mine shirt (though with aluminum rings). The sleeves bend fine, almost all the way. However, this slightly pitches my elbow bit. Is it normal, or would increasing the elbow gusset help?
Side note, is there any padding inside the helmet, like a liner or something, or just the chinstrap?
is there a gusset in the arm pit too?
Dear good Sir! I'd like to know more of how you have done it! My questions would be: how did you find out the correct circumference around the shoulder? By that I mean for the vest part of the mail. What was the lowest armpit point? What was your armpit junctioning method? Horizontal or "V" or other? Why i ask is because I have also wizard sleeves on that I made, but every time I try to tailor it, the bottom midline along the under arm part gets tight and excess material is present at latissimus dorsi or pectoralis maior when flexing the shoulder. Even if I let my arm simply down by my side there is material extrusion between my arm and thorax, and circular tension ariseing from my acromion. I would kindly ask xou to elaborate in detail if possible, please!
Any plans for a video on you updated viking kit? Also curious about you opinion on Albeststuff mail, would you recommend?
Yes there are plans and i do recommend them on a budget.
If you want to make the surcoat more accurate I believe on most depictions of Hospitllers I have seen they wore a different style of cross that was smaller that was place on the heart
Teutonics wore the latin cross in the center, this is the proper way. I think what you are thinking of is the Templars who were required to place the red cross on the left side of the surcoat. Different orders entirely.
Will this method also work for a maille shirt that has sleeves where the rings flow around the arm rather than along the arm like yours does?
The weave is a different direction? I mean it should.
i would very much like to see a close up of the seam running along the under arm to see how the taper is closed.
I second that
@@avortinus6031 put it in full screen at 3:05, you can see it on the left. look closely where the row flips.
Fantastic work! How thick is your padded tunic?
I'd say a medium thickness, maybe half an inch of padding.
@@teutonicpenguin9593 I would considerer anything above 1 cm very thick.
everyone knows you can't make chain mail armor, you have to find it in dungeon chests.
no riders split?
09:00 what are those stings used for hanging off your shoulders? They don't look strong enough to allow you to pull off the shirt/mail.
Those are used to attach ailettes.
@@jorgejohnson875 The ailette (French language for little wing) was a component of thirteenth century knightly armour. Usually made of cuir bouilli (sometimes of plate or parchment), ailettes were thick, quadrangular pieces of leather or wood that attached to the shoulders by means of silk or leather cord.
@@SteelWolf13 Yes.
Is that the theme from Kingdom Come: Deliverance playing in the background...?
I think it might be
Do chainmail gloves work? Have you been hit with them on with a weapon?
If I was able to ship my maille shirt and mittens , would someone be able to tailor and attach the mittens to the ends just like this? I have no skill myself to do it.
Did you remove the sleeve completely? I ordered a shirt of mail and the sleeves are extremely baggy and want to tighten them up.
Nope, just split like in the video.
Off topic, but do you have any recommendations for mail? The mail Hauberk I purchased from medievalcollectibles (house of warfare) came with quite a few broken rivets and numerous missing rivets. (6mm round ring dome riveted) and plan on returning it
Even with short sleeves on my jacket riveted chainmail, it’s annoying

*The enemy has crossbows*
Its over mail bros.
Can you tell us the wire gauge in mm of your chain mail?
1mm

Ok so has anyone found gloves like this & if so could you please give me a link. Going a bit stir crazy over this.

Your awesome keep it up DEUS VULT!
What is the best way to start hobby like this. I live in Finland and here is something where i can buy things like in your videos like shop Rautaportti.fi but i dont know what i have to buy first. Is it sword or trainingsword or what
You want to start fighing it armor?
TeutonicPenguin yes, do you mean with
He has another video up giving the different websites he used to get the equipment.
Please make tutorial how to have long hair please 🥺🥺🥺
Many thanks for this quite detailed run-down. I am modifying a riveted hauberk, and I am quite happy of the elbow gusset, which you show laid out at th-cam.com/video/BrpeJoP1uBs/w-d-xo.html.
Kinda surprised noone had asked - did you, by a chance, check just how much weight were you able to shave off? Really looks like quite a few pounds.
Unfortunetly i did not. I should have. I was more concerned with the look and fit than the weight.
@@teutonicpenguin9593 Thanks for the answer, great work in any case.
