How did it all begin that’s always hard to remember it just evolves like all good stories it started just for friends then for renascence ,roll play then the theaters now the film world it just started to grow from just our selves making it
at the same time we hade a blacksmith shop and the two seamed to go together it just grew from 3 people to 11 then when we started to make chain mail for the film gladiator we got up to working with over 30 people all just making chain mail we still have most of these people working with us in some way today and that is what gives us the ability to make what is required on time and meet the most demanding of delivery schedules
In the past we have supplied many of the period films with our chain mail we were fortunate to receive the order to supply to the films The visitors, Gladiator, Time line Star wars, Kingdom of Haven and many more projects our chain mail has been used at the Danish royal baliy the German bale the New York opera and on many more occasions
We manufacture our chain mail from start to finish in our factory in the United Kingdom of England we produce our own rings using our own specified wire so we can make rings of any size and any wire gage that is best suited to the work and the customers own specification there for we can make and design in house the exact demanding specifications of our clients in any type of material that they may require
Over the past 18 years with the support of our customers we have continued to grow and develop and have learn many of the shortfalls and advantages that only time can bring we make and design our own products so we can have a totally wearable and good looking product second to non
We are still a family business with most of our original work force and adding more to this every year we still are making for friends and people all over the world in the belief that the customer still deserves the best in the future we hope that you may give us a try it only takes a call we can do the rest so you can get the best you deserve it
