In a sense, it is impossible to craft chainmail. Since iron is stronger than chainmail, chainmail is a better solution for beginning players. If you don't have much iron with you, but need armor, then you can craft chainmail.
Put one iron ingot in the crafting menu to create 4 pieces of chains. Those chains can be used in the normal way to create armor. Not too difficult right?
Back in Beta 1.5, they added a way to craft chainmail armor. It is using fire blocks which must be cheated. So technically, other than trading with villagers, there is no legit way of getting it. I am not sure if using fire still works.

Any feedback is appreciated.

Retired StaffI wear chainmail on survival servers as proof of exploration, i.e. I've traded with villagers a lot.
This would ruin it.
No you can't
On topic though I would much rather trade from villagers.
I agree. Although this idea would be a good option as a mod, even though I'm pretty sure it already is a mod.
