    This option effects the distance between the very top of the dō to the very bottom of your dō plate.  The dō should rest where you waist and hips meet.  This length adjustment will help stop your dō from pressing into your chin when sitting.  Measure from where your throat meets your chest, straight down to your navel.  Do not measure the contour of your chest and belly, this should be measured with a measuring stick.Sizing Option(Click through the images to see the different options.)

    • 0 $

    This option effects the distance between the armpit and waist of your dō, so the armor doesn’t push into your armpit while training or sitting.  Starting 8 cm below your armpit, measure straight down to your navel line.  Do not measure the contour of your chest and belly, this should be measured with a measuring stick.

Description

Kikko Gane Do are light weight and flexible Do (cuirass) that are worn as lightweight tatami style armor or as auxiliary armor, under the samurai warrior’s Do. This style of kikko gane armor was worn by Daimyo, all levels of samurai, as well as some wealthy merchants and possibly shinobi (ninja). Kikko gane armor is crafted with small hexagonal pieces of iron, sewn between layers of cloth to create tightly woven form of brigandine, light  and flexible armor. The Kikko gane are is gives great protection from slashes and stabs while offering protection from blunt force trauma. This auxiliary samurai armor was typically worn as an extra layer of protection under the Samurai’s Do (cuirass). It could also be worn over the Samurai’s Do to help reduce sound while on night raids and protect the armor from scrapes while scaling walls. Or as a light weight armor over a Yoroi Hitatari, with added kabuto, kote and suneate.

Iron Mountain Armory crafts this style of kikko gane do from historical references of late Sengoku / early Edo era sets.  Using natural materials of the era, our auxiliary armor sets are historically accurate making them perfect for martial artists and historical re-enactors that want traditional kikko armor on the market. Perfect for added under armor protection for LARP and SCA members or anyone wanting extra protection during weapons training. We also offer the option to make the kusazuri / gessan (armored skirt) to be detachable, so it can be worn like a manchira armor.

Features:

  • Custom chest/waist size (fits snugly so order one size larger), custom height, color, pattern, material, and padding options.
  • Additional padding for protection from blunt weapons available.
  • Please note that this price is only for the Kikko Gane Do.  
  • Other items are sold separately.  

Kikko Gane Do –

Our skilled katchû-shi (armorers) at the Iron Mountain Armory will need at least 2 to 4 weeks, depending on options selected, for the custom handcrafting of your reproduction samurai item.

Ordering Tips:

4 / 5 – Chest / Waist Size – Best to order 2 cm larger on each dimension for a more comfortable fit.
C: Measure from where the chest meats the shoulder.
D: Neck to front Bend – Lowest part of your neck to your navel.
E: We suggest you start your measurement 5 cm below the armpit for a more comfortable fit.

Please Note: Click the ? next to each option to review detailed instructions. You may not be able to wear sode with item if wearing with armor. 

Accessories:

  • Hikitate Eboshi – Add a traditional cloth hat to your order, traditionally worn by Samurai

  • Waraji Sandals – Bamboo straw sandals commonly used by samurai
