This vest was originally made by another chainmail crafter (I don't actually know who), to match a tail that I made for a commissioner some 4 years ago. The vest had some issues, especially at the side closures, and the commissioner asked me to work out a solution to those, and expand the vest further towards the waist. I may also need to reinforce some spots up in the shoulders, since it was woven with aluminum rings, where I myself mostly only trust steel in high-load spots.

This is still in progress, but I figured I'd show the photos that I've got so far. The final will be a bit longer than this, and the edges will be tidied up.

Here's the original tail this was made to match. (Also two tumblr links for more photos.)
