Description

The Ni-Mai Dō became one of the most common armor designs used during the last 100 years of the Sengoku Era.  The Ito-mono used for this armor style, are long single plates, that are overlapped and then riveted or laced together, forming a sleek, thick, robust and shock-absorbing armor. This form of crafting made for faster crafting time and a more efficient use of materials.  The dō is also much easier to maintain than the earlier style of kozan yoroi.

Our apprentice katchû-shi (Japanese armor smith) will craft this Kachi samurai armor using a traditional Ni-Mai dō (2 section chest) without a hinge joining the front and back. We will craft your yoroi for your size, then paint and lace it according to your instructions. Our katchû-shi  is also happy to custom craft your preference of helmet, mask and shin armor, as well as any other options you choose.

Features: Kachi Class.

  • Variation of paint, nylon odoshi colors and features.
  • Full sized and fully functional.

The apprentice katchû-shi at Iron Mountain Armory handcraft this product at the time of your order. Please allow 2 to 3 weeks for crafting of this item.

To see the class differences, please view Kachi Vs. Gashira.

For more information, please review our Order Options Explained, Glossary Terms or FAQ Pages. You can also Contact Us directly. We are always happy to be of service.

  1. Rated 4 out of 5

    Exceptional Quality –

    I ordered the Ashigaru model armor and the quality is really nice for the price. I really wasn’t expecting too much but I really can’t complain. I have used this armor with my live action role play group and it holds up pretty well. Overall 2 thumbs up!

  2. Rated 5 out of 5

    Armor received –

    I received my armor, it was in all right condition, couple pieces were damages but nothing I couldn’t fix.. The only problem I’m having is with the sleeves, I’m 6 foot and more arms are really long so I have trouble with those if I tie them in the proper way. Perhaps I’ll get another suit that is made to my body type, but overall the suit is in great condition just wearing it is a bit of a challenge. Thanks for the bitsu as well. Everyone that sees the armor loves to admire it’s beauty.

  3. Rated 5 out of 5

    fantastic quality –

    Some of the better quality armour I have seen on the field. Can be worn for hours without losing comfort and very easy to move / fight in. The armour holds up very well under live combat. Overall quite impressive and a fine suit of armour.

  4. Rated 5 out of 5

    Germany –

    Dear Sir or Madam,
    I get my armor yesterday and I must say: It is nearly perfect. just the kote, the arms are a little bit short, but this I can balance with training. I thank you for build it. I´m really satisfied with your work.

  5. Rated 5 out of 5

    For the price, you can’t beat this quality –

    I did order the least expensive model so there is merit in upgrading but for the price paid, you cannot beat this armor. This class is not combat ready but more appropriate for a badass costume or display. The company was amazing at communications and working with me on making it the right size (I am 6’4″ and 250lbs). Everything fits perfect and it looks amazing. I even went so far as to ask for some custome work on making it more “Darth Vader” themed and they came through beautifully.
    Improvement suggestions: some lacing that was burned or melted to secure two together came undone but I simply superglued them back together. Some of the paint flaked off where the metal bends but a simple touch up was not that big of a deal and problem solved.
    All in all, I highly recommend their products to anyone that wants a really nice set of armor that is hand made to your specifications. I doubt you’ll find a better product at this price range.

  6. Rated 5 out of 5

    Awesome armor! –

    his armor was amazeing. I’ll admit I was somewhat concerned about how this armor would turn out. When it arrived UT was amazeing! While it might be a tad bit more expensive I recommend going for the mid or high quality. While the Tachi quality like I got is good the other two would be well worth the extra money. All and all this armor is perfect.
