Chainmaille T-Shirt
I made this incredibly intricate Chainmaille shirt from raw wire, one link at a time, by hand. For this one, I thought it would be cool to make a real Chainmaille shirt that looked and wore as much like a regular crew neck t-shirt as possible. The way this turned out is awesome! This shirt took me roughly 250 hours to make, it has somewhere near 35,000 individual links, and it weighs around 16 pounds. This shirt has all the details. The edges are made to look like the hems on a normal fabric shirt by stepping up the wire thickness, for these parts I used thinker 16 gauge Stainless Steel wire. And to make the sleeves hang correctly, and comfortably move with your arms, I used a technique called Bias Stitching which allowed me to creat this Chainmaille shirt with the same style pattern one would use when sewing a fabric shirt. Long story short, it's perfect!
