I tested this mod and it is bad. I will explain why.
1. When dark mist from mail is cast, before that an invisibility spell is cast 2. Sheathing/ unsheating weapon makes it invisible, because of that invisibility spell cast prior, but magic effects of weapon are visible now 3. Before dark mist is cast from ebony mail, your brows and front part of hair dissapears, looks super ugly. 4. Your eyes dissapear/ goes black/ are not visible anymore (someone else mentioned this in comments already)
The strange thing with the effect, is that the hairs on black body seems smaller than hairs on normal body, or misplaced on black body. So normal hair cross above the black hair. I just tested it and this mod is compatible with apachii sky hair. But some hair parts seems to be double sided face whereas black effect seems to be 1 sided face, so with "complex" hair style, some side will not turn black. i will try to see if i can do something about this...
I think i can't do anything better than what is done. With this mod, the hair of apachiiskyhair will turn black as well. But like i said, judging from what i have observed, if i'm not wrong, the black cloak shader seems to be 1 sided face, whereas some(maybe all) faces of the meshes of the hair in apachiiskyhair seem to be 2 sided faces, so some will not turn black completely. i tried several tweaks on the black cloak shader, but nothing good in the end.
For all the hair to turn black, i think the meshes of those hairs have to be rebuild to be only 1 sided faces. It 's not something for me to change. Don't be mad after me if the author made this change and nothing changes with the black cloak effect XD
The craftable ebony mail is just for look, it's just an ebony armor (with the look of the ebony mail) with less weight, it has nothing special.
i made this for me in the first place, and i simply wanted to conserve my look if i wanted to change armor and enchantement. The only other armors i really like are the light dragon scale armor and the draugr armor. If possible, i simply want to do things myself instead of downloading everything even when it's a very small tweak.
It was already hard for me to separate all the things i did in a single .esp into several .esp to have something clean enough to distribute XD Should i remove it from this little mod ?
I would. Makes for a cleaner mod for those who are just looking for a fix for the effect. Or at least offer it as an optional version. There are probably dozens of mods out there that already allow you to craft an ebony mail, but to my knowledge there are none that fix the effect.
I guess it may depend on what hair style you choosed. i added some pictures, so you can see how it was for me, and i know it was the same thing for some other players (i don't know at all if the unofficial patch fix made a fix for this thing, because i don't use it)

I don't understand what you mean, maybe some screenshots will be good as explanation?
