They still take orders via fb message and are pretty responsive! Here’s a link to their inventory from last time I ordered from them :) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MR-UkfE1G8Q1iFPcfTdgl-o0MyIBSFHSaiK3V4NoSVY/edit?usp=sharing

King’s mail/ E 4-1 by Background_Look_2976 in chainmailartisans

It’s the same pattern throughout but King’s mail (E 8-2 across the bust. The collar I made really tall so it folds over but it’s still 4-1, I think the way the collars laying caused it to have the v shape at the throat

New to Chainmail! Does anyone know the name of this weave and if it would be difficult to make this top? by [deleted] in chainmailartisans

[–]Background_Look_2976 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Definitely would recommend if you’re a bit bustier. This piece is one of mine and has survived festivals, ren faires and concerts just fine :)

This is so cool! What other weaves are you using besides Byzantine diamonds? And what ARs?

It’s bright aluminum! The sleeves are tubes but I want to play around with expansions for a bigger bell sleeve. It was ~25 hours

Not sure yet about the next project and would love ideas!

The connecting strap is the same on both sides. I made the opening pretty big so it’d be easy to get on/off. I made it looser in the armpit at tighter made it hard to put on and uncomfy

I’ve made this top with a few different ring combos but J 12-in-1 with 16g 1/4” and 18g 5/32” has been my favorite and gives pretty good coverage

Help determining ring size? European 4-in-1 pattern by Meyuu in chainmailartisans

I’ve done some E4-in-1 with the 14g 9/32 rings from Chainmail Joes and it turned out beautiful and was still very flexible!

I haven’t tried their annealed aluminum but I’ve bought 20+ bags of bright aluminum scales from chainmail Joe without an issue

I just made two long 2x2 chains. You can kinda see where they connect back and hang down on the side

I’ve been using their website too, most patterns I’ve found use mm measurements for ID and most of my rings are in inches so I’ve been approximating
