    This option changes the girth size of the chest. While inhaling deeply, measure the distance AROUND the widest part of your chest. (Click through the images to see the different options.)

    This option adjusts the girth size of your waist.  While inhaling deeply, have an assistant wrap the tape measure around your waist at level with your navel.  In the back, you want the tape measure to wrap around completely level. The tape measure should be snug, but not tight.(Click through the images to see the different options.)

    Lay a comfortable shirt on a flat surface, then measure the straight distance between the two shoulder seams or enter the width you would like your shoulder distance to be.

    Shoulder Width B

    (Sizing is more for crafting reference then actual, we may reduce this by upto 15 cm)

    Lay a comfortable, not stretch, shirt on a flat surface and measure the distance from the shoulder seam to neck / collar, or the length you want.

    Using a straight ruler, have an assistant measure the distance across your chest, where your chest meets your shoulders.  Do not measure the contour of your chest.

    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.)

    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.

    Let us know your height to better reference your given sizes.

Description

Kikko Gane “Armored” Kimono by Iron Mountain Armory is a reproduction of an actual kikko gane kimono from the early Edo Era. Used as under armor by Daimyo, high ranking samurai, as well as some wealthy merchants and possibly shinobi (ninja). Crafted with small kikko (hexagonal armor plates), sewn between layers of cloth to create tightly woven form of brigandine, light  and flexible armor. Capable of protecting the samurai warrior from slashes, stabs and blunt force trauma. This kikko gane kimono would have likely been worn as a light armor over a Hitatari, under a haori or as an extra layer of protection over the existing Samurai’s do (cuirass).

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 Kimono.  
  • Other items are sold separately.  

Kikko Gane Kimono Crafting –

Our skilled katchû-shi (armorers) at the Iron Mountain Armory will need at least 2 to 4 weeks, depending on options selected, and other scheduled orders, 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 meets 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.
