Welcome to my website!

My name is Łukasz Kołodziej, and I have been mailing since 2003. By playing with rings for all those years I have gained considerable experience, and now I fear no challenge, because I am sure that I have perfectly mastered the techniques of making mails. I am not afraid of any kind of order.

I offer among others:
- chain mail armour (weaves: European: 4-1, 6-1, 8-1, 8-2, Persian: 3-1, 5-1, Japanese: 4-1, 6-1)
- chain mail coif (European weave: 4-1, 6-1 plus various kinds of ornaments achieved by using different chainmaille techniques)
- gauntlets (European weave: 4-1, 6-1, 8-1, dragon scale)
- mail leggings (different mailing techniques, European weave: 4-1, 6-1, 8-1)
- belts (in various weaves!)
- bracelets (in various weaves!)
- chains (various weaves e.g. Byzantine, several kinds of Persian weaves etc.)
- bishop mantles


As to the materials and the chain links sizes, I use 6, 7, 8 and 10mm bars. I wind it up with wires: galvanized, ungalvanized, soft, hard, tempered wire, spring wire, duraluminium etc.

More information about the mailworks and prices you will find in separate sections.

SHOES
Apart from mailing I am also sewing shoes. I have taken it up quite recently, that is to say, in mid-2008. Why shoes? It is a simple question. I have been ordering shoes from various historical shoemakers myself, but I have never been satisfied with their work, sometimes even disappointed. In addition, it was the time when I finally felt that I have really mastered the art of mailing, and there were no challenges awaiting me – I did virtually everything in numerous copies. It was the time to start doing something new, to take up a new challenge.

I think I have mastered doing some shoe models pretty well – especially the early middle age models, but once again I would like to emphasize it – I really fear no challenge. I am incessantly broadening my knowledge of historical shoemaking methods, and I am pretty sure that I will perfectly master the main methods of sewing the early middle ages shoes in a short time.

The range of products presented in this site is being constantly extended, and please keep it in mind while browsing the offer.

You are more that welcome to ask any question concerning my work that comes to your mind!
