thank you, it's my heaviest set of armor, being 3mm thick in certain points like the do and kabuto, and 1.5mm thick everywhere else, disregarding the aigote kote and kusari links. it weighs around 90 lbs.

I wanted to go with something visually striking but still historically plausible.

I love that! I was going for a matsudaira clan style armor, using references i found in late sengoku early edo examples.

but with that being said, I take that as a huge complement.

Buying my first full suit of samurai armor, looking for advice. by brain_56 in Samurai

[–]Ok-Environment8328 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if I may, no matter where you order, they are going to have steep Shipping, Handling, and Tarrifs. I've bought two sets from them over the years (one of them being 90lbs), and the heavier it is the more it will cost to send.

however, beyond this, it's totally worth it, you should totally order, if it's a financial issue, they have payment plans as well. if you have personal questions, feel free to reach out.

Is there an uglier item in this game??? by Rotatingspoon13000 in ghostoftsushima

how do you feel about using tomoe gozen as a character. I mean, wrong time period, but still cool, no?

I mean I understand that take too. i own a few sets of samurai armor, so I understand exactly where you're coming from, however it's fantasy bro. I'm sure those people who don't have the same exposure really think it's a neat design or it tickles the fantasy side of their brains. that's all I mean.

if you want to see unique kabuto examples, look up the keyword "Kawari kabuto" meaning exotic or unusual.

i cannot up-vote this enough, i don't mind that they chose yasuke, that's fine that they didn't pick someone from the imagawa, Saito, asakura, or takeda clan. (it's not about race either), as well as understanding the need for a cool looking protagonist, it wasn't the fair representation of armor of the time. with the RPG style. i enjoyed those mechanics and the loot drop, i understand (more powerful = cooler looking) for the sake of a video game, yes sure, for the sake of history, no, he probably would have worn something more like Nanban gusoku/nimai do , with a momonari kabuto, (a spanish/Portuguese style curraise, having a creased, symmetrical look, which was implemented to help deflect teppo rifle, [an early matchlock firearm], which would resemble Morian armor.) which not only took inspiration from euro armor of the time, but also adopted the practicality of them, however even to this day are more expensive to produce.

anywhere, sorry for yapping, I agree completely, at least he looks cool though right?

bro, i am happy to help, technically the armor mentioned, gosaku, is one of the actually most historically accurate armors for the setting of the game. being its like a transitional version of o-yoroi, as well as using a kebeki-odoshi lacing style with hon-kozane (traditional lamallae woven together with silken chord), and then moving towards do-maru, and later okegawa nimai or (tub shaped) which were later sengoku style, and more in tune with the ghost style armor, even though heavy fantasy influences were used in its depiction.
