    Extra Customization Options


    Gashira (Officer):
    Expertly handmade from a mixture of quality traditional and modern materials, as well as some modern crafting process. This class of armor is crafted with a good attention to detail.


    Crafting Time: 20 to 35 Days.


    Materials Used: Bowl style kabuto, steel construction, traditional brocade, hemp, quality cotton, brass, copper fittings with genuine leather & and some synthetic materials might be used. (materials may differ depending on model)



    Our “Gashira Class” yoroi represents the next level up from our “Kachi Class.” Each suit is meticulously handcrafted by our experienced katchû-shi (armor smiths) at Iron Mountain Armory. These artisans pour their warrior spirit into every piece, using quality materials and traditional crafting methods, complemented by modern techniques, tools, and design advancements. Like the Taisho Class, each suit is heavily researched and crafted with great care for historical accuracy. The principal difference between the Gashira and Taisho classes is that the Gashira Class is crafted with a practical bowl-style kabuto (simulated laminate) and some machine-stamped parts. The Gashira Class also features subtle modern enhancements, such as grommets and spot welding, making the armor more robust and easier to maintain. Our Gashira Class samurai armor is made for collectors, exhibitions, re-enactors, and martial artists who desire an authentic “Gendai” samurai suit of armor without the additional expenses associated with the more traditional design and handcrafting methods of our Taisho Class.




    The Gashira Class features a more traditional Gendai design compared to the Kachi Class and includes features such as real animal hair, genuine leather, a removable or interchangeable nose, brass fittings, shoulder padding with kikko (armor plating), traditional butted mail, opposable thumbs, leg/waist support on haidate, extra materials, fittings, riveting, grommets, additional lacing options, and an included armor storage/display box (yoroi bitsu) with stand. The attention to detail is a significant step up from the Kachi Class. However, due to the handcrafted nature of many parts, there may be some blemishes that pass through our QC process. Although we strive to avoid and correct these blemishes, they are a natural occurrence in handcrafting. Taisho Class suits will have fewer, if any, of these blemishes due to the high standards and meticulous review processes.

Description

Legacy in Every Thread
The Art of the Laced Scale Samurai Armor

The Odoshi Scale Samurai Gusoku is a stunning Gashira Class yoroi (armor set) that revives the elegance and defensive brilliance of the Muromachi and Sengoku eras. Inspired by the ornate suits worn by high-ranking samurai, this handcrafted masterpiece from Iron Mountain Armory embodies traditional craftsmanship and a powerful warrior aesthetic worthy of both battlefield and display.

Crafted in the kiritsuke kozane kebiki-odoshi okegawa tōsei style, this gusoku features a kiritsuke-kozane dō—a two-section clam-shell dō (cuirass) made of embossed steel plates simulating the look of individual kozane (scales). Each of the 14 steel plates is meticulously kebiki-odoshi (fully laced) by hand using high-quality cotton cord, producing a beautifully rich texture and a vibrant historical feel. Total crafting time exceeds 80 hours, ensuring every detail matches the proud legacy of the armor’s inspiration.

The hari-bachi kabuto (ridged helmet) crowns this armor with authority and is finished with an optional high-standing maedate (crest). You can customize the crest with the traditional mon (clan symbol) of your choosing or personalize it with a family, dojo, or business emblem. The large ō-sode (shoulder guards) are also fully laced and may feature a multicolor design or a traditional pattern of your choice. A decorative fukurin (brass trim) adds an elegant finish to the armor’s edges, reinforcing the sense of nobility and attention to detail.

Our skilled katchû-shi (Japanese armor smiths) at Iron Mountain Armory will handcraft your armor with the care and discipline befitting a true modern warrior. Whether you plan to wear this set for martial arts, historical reenactment, or proudly display it in your home or dojo, it will serve as a lasting tribute to your strength, discipline, and connection to samurai tradition.

We will email you to confirm your custom lacing colors to ensure your armor is crafted exactly to your vision.

  1. 4 weeks and amazing!
    Reviewer

    After 16 fast and professional emails back and forth with Michael I finally submitted my very detailed custom order. Michael kept me up to date on my order and even had the armory send me some picture of my armor while it was being crafted. By the 25th day it was finished and I received detailed pictures of my amazing samurai suit. Michael than sent me the fedex tracking number for delivery directly to my home, taking only 4 days.

    WOW Amazing armor and service! I would give 6 stars if there was an option. I am very pleased with my new armor as it is AMAZING and the service I received was 2nd to non. Thank you!

  3. An amazing suit of armor
    Reviewer

    I am floored by the quality of my armor. The details and lace work is 2nd to none and for an amazing price. The scaled plating gives the armor such character. I purchased this armor to display in my home but I love walking around in it. I feel like a kid again but my wife won’t let me wear it to bed!
