Chainmail and tabard
A chainmail coif and hauberk under a deep-blue tabard with gold trim, a leather belt and steel-toed boots.
Our take
A chainmail coif and a deep-blue tabard with gold trim: the lighter, more heraldic kind of knight.
What it's good for
Crusader-style knights, squires, guards and tournament characters. The tabard is a ready canvas for your own emblem.
Design notes
The chainmail coif covers the head on the overlay (about 280 hat pixels) and frames the face, while the mail on the body and legs uses the chain pattern on the base. The tabard is painted on the body front and back with gold edges and a simple gold emblem in the centre, and it continues as a skirt over the upper legs on the overlay, ending in a gold hem. A leather belt cinches the waist.
Measured palette: the main colour groups in the file, with the share of painted pixels each covers.

Customise it in the editor
- Paint your own emblem over the gold mark on the tabard front.
- Recolour the tabard with Fill to your house colours.
- Hide the coif on the overlay to show hair underneath, or paint hair onto the base head.
Open chainmail and tabard in the editor to try these: it loads on the classic model, and the slim version is one click away too.
Classic or slim?
Opens on Classic. The mail sleeves cover the arms, so Slim works, but Classic suits the armour.
