    The Sizing Options for your custom samurai armor set.

    This option changes the girth size of your Dō (chest armor).  While inhaling deeply, have an assistant wrap the tape measure under your armpits around the largest part of your chest.  In the back, you want the tape measure to wrap across your shoulder blades. The tape measure should be snug, but not tight.


    Please Note: Sizing is for reference only and may not reflect the final product. Please read the FAQs for more details.


    Please Note: It is better to select 1 size larger to accommodate under clothing.

    This option is for the waist circumference of the Dō (chest armor).  5: Place a tape measure on your navel (belly button) and straight around your waist, finishing at your navel. The tape measure should be snug, but not tight.


    Please Note: Sizing is for REFERENCE ONLY and may not reflect the final product. Please read the FAQs for more details.


    Please Note: It is better to select 1 size larger to accommodate under clothing.

    Adjust the armor to your Height.  Standard sizing is 5' 8" (175 CM).  Select the option closest to your actual height.  If unsure, select 1 size smaller and enter your actual size in the order comments.


    Please Note: It is better to select 1 size shorter for better fit.

    Extra Design 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

Legendary Craftsmanship – Cross-Knotted Strength of the Sengoku Era

The Muromachi Hishi-Toji Samurai Armor is a radiant symbol of samurai prestige, worn by high-ranking warriors during the late Muromachi through Sengoku Period. This Shogun-class yoroi (armor set) is hand-forged by the senior katchû-shi (Japanese armorers) of Iron Mountain Armory, showcasing the full elegance and martial nobility of traditional hishi-toji (diamond cross-knotted) lacing.

At its core is a robust Tosei Okegawa Ni-mai Dō (two-piece clamshell cuirass), constructed from 14 individual steel ita-mono (plates), carefully joined using traditional odoshi (lace). The iconic O-sode (large shoulder guards) are laced in vibrant kebiki-odoshi (full-lacing) style, customized by color, pattern, and accent to your preference. This meticulous hand-lacing creates a dynamic, colorful presence that honors the fabled warriors of samurai lore.

Commanding in appearance and construction, this suit offers the option of intricate fukurin (brass edging) to further elevate its regal status. The maedate (helmet crest) can also be customized to your personal or clan mon, giving your kabuto (helmet) a deeply personal touch of power and identity.

As with all Shogun-class samurai armor from Iron Mountain Armory, every detail is masterfully executed using only the finest materials. Your armor set is crafted for authenticity, durability, and a commanding presence—whether in battle, display, or ceremony.

Key Features & Benefits:

  • Shogun-class handcrafted with Tosei Okegawa Ni-mai Dō design
  • Includes full kebiki-odoshi lacing with customizable color patterns
  • Optional fukurin brass edging and personalized maedate crest
  • Fully functional for martial use or elite presentation
  • Includes decorative display box and stand

Shipping Information:

Your Muromachi Hishi-Toji Samurai Armor will be custom-forged by our most senior Shogun-class katchû-shi. Please allow at least 2 to 3 weeks for detailed handcrafting and assembly prior to shipment.
