- Five pounds of aluminum wire loops. Two pairs of pliers. One week of September wildfire smoke keeping me in the house.
A burning desire for a chainmail shirt.
More of an experiment than any recreation or attempt at accuracy. Just having a good time and playing dress up!
Included is a no voiceover tutorial for chainmail. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
I love how you show stretching your hand and fingers. It's such an important part to the process that people don't think about
I’ve learned some of the basics for making chain mail jewelry but I’m ready to something like this… Why? One word- Grogu!! I’d like to make armor for our Grogu toy from The Mandalorian 😆 thanks for posting this video!! It’s very helpful 👍
Impressive. I bet it was heavy.
Looks fantastic!
How many hours do you think you invested?
And now I want a chainmail too 😅😝
i cant find Jump rings in that size anywhere! have tried doing it to smaller scale but stuff just combines and tangles
You can definitely go smaller if you want it's not much different and doesn't really tangle
Where did you get the rest of the fit? Pants/shirt/shawl/leather that is
Hi Aidan--the pants are some modern linen pants, the shirt is hand sewn based on the classic T tunic, fabric belt was woven by me, the shawl was bought at a market in Morocco, the leather belt is Armstreet, and the sword frog is from RagnaroksEnd on Etsy.
What kind of rings are those? Sorry i don't recognize the size from the package
they are polished aluminum, 12 AWG/14 SWG and 7/16 inch inside diameter. In metric that amounts to a hair over 2mm wire diameter and a little over 11.1mm inside diameter

Thanks a lot :)
Hate to tell you this, but your chain is in the wrong direction. Build yourself a 20x20. Hang it in 90deg from your pattern. It's more flexible and doesn't hang fully open.
Hi, sorry, what do you mean by "build yourself a 20x20"?
@MKWissler 20 rings by 20 rings. Same 4in1. If you run horizontal, it breaths. Run it vertical and it opens up. It becomes stiffer.
Running horizontally also makes it easier to add length without making staps. Make a starter strap. Pick a side and add a row. Instead of fighting 4 rings; you're only grabbing 2 for each ring added.
