  First Hauberk Enlarged
This is an enlargement of the detailing of the first hauberk to appear in the Bayeux Tapestry.
I have argued that this image was probably produced by "the Master of the Tapestry" as a prototype for subsequent depictions of hauberks.
Thus, we might reasonably assume that William is given the privilege of wearing the first hauberk to appear in the Tapestry.

  Chain Hauberk   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
Hauberks were worn as early as 8th century Europe in rather simple versions but didn't develop into what we now refer to as a Hauberk (chain mail coat) until the early middle ages.
The first version of the Hauberk, the small hauberk, was the garment frequently worn by 8th century European knights; it also became the dress of their squires.
This early hauberk consisted of a padded cloth jacket, covered in scales, and reached the hips and elbows in a rather loose-fitting style.

  Hauberk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The word hauberk is derived from an old German word Halsberge, which originally described a small piece of mail that protects the throat and the neck (the 'Hals').
This design developed into what is ordinarily known as a hauberk near the beginning of the Middle Ages, as the mail-making industry became more established.
A hauberk dating from the 12th century stored in the Prague Cathedral is one of the earliest surviving examples in and was supposedly owned by Saint Wenceslaus.

 Russian medieval armor terms
The rings, from which this type of hauberk was made, were of two types: one which was riveted, and also one which was stamped from a sheet of iron and punctured into the form of a small washer, with elliptical rivets.
The representation of the similar "plate armor" can be seen on the miniatures and ikons of the 12th to 14th centuries and also on the frescoes of the Uspenski Cathedral in the Moscow Kremlin, and on the carved wooden throne of Ivan the Terrible that is kept in the cathedral.
Compared to the plate hauberk, the scale hauberk was flexible, as the bulging scales, attached to the foundation only on one side, afforded the warrior dressed in such a pantsir greater mobility, which was especially important for a cavalryman.

Although originally a term applied to a neck-covering, hauberk became a word for a mail coat of armour, a garment made of interlinked iron rings.
They had sleeves and the knee-length skirt was divided to permit riding a horse.

The mail ("chainmail" is a term invented by the Victorians) hauberk would have been the main armour for a knight or richer man-at-earms throughout the period we portray - a shirt of mail, often with leather bound edges.
During the 12th century, the hauberk developed to be slightly longer, have full length sleeves with integral mail mittens (mufflers), and an integral hood, often with a flap (ventail) to protect the low part of the face.
Disc-shaped plates (similkar to besagews), called couters, attached to the elbows of the hauberk, are found as early as c.

 Integral vs Separate coifs at Hastings 1066.
The hauberks that are being carried to the ships show no obvious sign of an integral coif, though as they're seen from in front, the coifs may be hidden, hanging behind the hauberk.
An interesting detail which I had not noticed before writing this article, is that these hauberks all seem to be fairly tight at the neck, with what appears to be a fabric collar.
Further complicating the issue is the fact that several of the coifs which I regard as separate have a coloured lower border, which is identical to the upper border of the "bib", except for missing the circular "blobs" at either end.

 De Liebaart - The Hauberk
he maille hauberk is a defensive garment that even today still continues to attract everybody's attention.
Only a few hundred of medieval European hauberks have survived in museums, mostly dating from the 15th and 16th century (which is not even the Middle Ages anymore).
For such a long, knightly hauberk, made out of authentic rivetted rings (each ring was closed by a seperate rivet), a weight of about eight to nine kilograms is normal.

The bottom of the hauberk is knee or lower thigh length, and has a horseman's slit (that is, it is slit in the front and back).
Unlike the previous hauberk, the inside of these rings are round and the displaced metal from the overlapped ends tends to the outside of the link.
While they most likely do not have a rectangular cross-section, these rings are second only to the next hauberk (10) in flatness.

 Laking: European Armour and Arms (1919), Ch. 2 (a)
His hauberk descends below the knee, its skirt slit back and front for convenience in riding, in a fashion that has bred a controversy as to whether the hauberk ended below the waist, as a pair of short breeches, and was, in fact, cut like a modern bathing suit.
The hauberks have a square opening at the neck, whilst at about the height of the chest we see on most of the shirts a rectangular reinforcement edged with some other material.
Therefore, unless his hauberk had a longitudinal half of one kind of mail and another half of a different kind, which of course is entirely improbable, we have proof positive of two conventional fashions of representing the same mail shirt upon one figure.

 Medieval hauberk reconstructions   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
Hauberks, used as defensive armors from classical times, consisted of thousands of iron rings interwined according to different techniques so as to form a coat of mail which could resist to blows.
The finished hauberk obtained with this method weighsapproximately 9 kilograms and is treated by burnishing and waxing, and is obvioulsly more beautiful, lighter and stronger than hauberks obtain with the second procedure.
In the second procedure mail rings are joined at the ends and ring thickness is 1,8 mm; the construction technique is much faster and the hauberk is therefore cheaper.

I have also taken a couple of pics of an actual project that includes such weaves to demonstrate how it can be implemented to craft hauberks, make a round collar for the neck, join a camail to a hauberk and get the « dreaded » armpit out of the picture.
This hauberk is currently under some serious « reconstruction »; I will add some long sleeves, make multiple adjustments to fit the body, add other inverting techniques shown here, add some leather garments, etc. I will post pics only when finished and if all goes the way I see it, you will be pleasantly surprised.
