Defend yourself from sword strikes and shark bites in the office with Thinkgeek’s Chainmaille Mail Necktie. It’s made of anodized aluminum, so I guess it will offer some sort of protection from corporate get-togethers.
The funny thing is, it’s the necktie part that isn’t genuine. I think it’s more of a choker with a huge pendant.
Ride to ThinkGeek and get the Chainmaille Necktie for $30 (USD). I’ll wait for the plate necktie.
Beer is a real man’s drink. That’s why it comes in a can or a glass. It would come in a suit of armor if it were practical to manufacture it that way. But since it’s not, Dougfungus has done it for us. This beer koozie protects your beer from more than just warmth.
With this leather and chainmail armor, beer can stand up to a small sword or axe, maybe even an arrow or two, while it fights back with great taste and scores a critical hit to your sobriety.
Forget those stupid foam beer koozies. This is a man’s koozie for medieval mead. Great work, Dougfungus.

In medieval times when everyone was taking swings at everyone else with swords, chainmail was pretty much a wardrobe requisite. These days the threat of sword attacks are few and far between, but a German company called Gost thinks there’s still a place for chainmail in modern society. At least for athletes who’ve embraced the whole barefoot running trend. More »
If you are looking for a new mug or stein to drink beer from while you watch Game of Thrones, here it is. This is a stein that Eddard Stark or Jamie Lannister would be proud to gulp their mead from. It is made entirely from chainmail.
You have to be a big tough guy to drink from this since it weighs about 5lbs. and stands 7.5 inches-tall. Every drinking session will be like a workout with this thing. And yes, since it is made of chainmail, your beverage is just going to leak as fast as you pour it in. Though you could just put a pint glass inside of it to solve that minor design flaw.
Besides, it looks great just as a decoration.
