I finished knitting the faux chain mail vest. It's for a large-bust JID, so my Isar is modelling. I also made a collar/cowl to finish off the look. If it was for me, I'd stain it darker, and add dark brown 'rust'. But it's not, and 99% of people prefer their doll clothes pristine like it's fresh from the tailor (or in this case, the 'black smith')

Your faux chain mail vest and collar turned out great! Done in yarn with sleeves, the style would make a very nice sweater,too!

Did you use 2 strands of #10 cotton thread or size #3 Martha? Its lovely in both color choices you mentioned. Im an Autumn/Winter personality so I too would not like the browns, perhaps that is why your customer likes it plain and 'natural'?
