@feuwling: I don't want to hear "there is no ethical consumption under capitalism", you don't NEED costume pieces. Artisan crafts deserve artisan craft pay. #chainmail #maille
I want my chainmail made by nerdy artisans, not children’s hands and vastly underpaid skilled laborers

Inconceivable to me. Each ring has to be opened and closed. Forget the cost of materials and skill to make this - the time spent to handle these materials and do repetitive moments omg the wear and tear on your hands for a few cents is absolutely cruel.

Making a bandana out of chain mail for the first time and oh boy has it taken forever. So awful to buy this from fast fashion brands

I thankfully didn't get any of these ads, but thanks for confirming that chainmail, like crochet, cannot be machine mass manufactured. If I see chain mail in cosplay stuff I usually look closely to see if it's actually chainmail at all and if it is usually assume it's handmade by the creator, they have invested a lot of money, or have a friend that really loves them and the craft. Disappointing to see at least one creator I've enjoyed some content from supporting such an unethical practice

I make chainmaille myself. the faires that I vend at, there is another vendor who is selling coins for 40 and hauberks for 150. I've asked them to not to have them out when it deeply undercuts my prices

my rule is: if i can make it myself, I'll do it myself. And I am delusiunal enough to think I can do EVERYTHING myself

how about a fucking HAUBERK for a hundred bucks???
my personal record (with over 3 decades of weaving maille as my full time job) for making a stainless steel haubergeron is 2 days shy of a MONTH to create

Anyone who doesn’t care about slave labor just hopes it’s not them being the slave. It’s the gross lack of empathy for me.

I had a moment of thinking you were upset about people sharing what they made, because it was inconceivable to me that there would be fast fashion chain mail. It takes so much work! (I'm new to it, but learning!)

I have been wanting to get into making chainmail pieces for a little while, but I find that it is SO expensive. That being said, does anyone have recommendations for where I can get supplies (preferably in Europe) and I’ll hopefully be able to purchase slowly as I get money lol 😋

This is going to be a coin pouch eventually (I have no clue what I’m doing, besides for the small sheet I made trying to learn the basics and half a bracelet I made this is my first project)
