Iron Mountain Armoury (new armour, lots of pictures)

[jon]

So I recently purchase a suit of Japanese samurai armour from Iron Mountain Armoury.
Their Customer service is excellent and extremely friendly.
Usually you get a Yoroi Bitsu and stand for free, but you have to pay for the extra shipping and handling. I didn't order it but when I opened up the package there was a Yoroi Bitsu inside with a stand.
(They had payed the extra S/H as a holiday gift)

I choose:

B001 - Daku Akuma Armor

Price Each: $1,099.00
Options:Armor Only
Class:Gashira +$600.00
Armor Color:Black - Hammered
Main Lace Color:Black
Chest Size:40"
Height:6' +$100.00
Menpo Color:Black - Hammered
Moustache Option 1:As Shown
Moustache Option 3:Black
-10% black Friday discount
And it all come to around $2000 USD with S/H

Import fees 130 something Canadian
Now what your really here for. Pictures!

Over all I really like it.

The Watagami needs a little reinforcement with a couple rivets maybe.

I also need to find a better way to keep the Do closed on the side. Rather then rope. (Any tips?)

Congrats mate.

I have a pair of kegutsu on the way from Iron mountain. They have great service ,,they promised to stregthen the sole on the shoes for outside wear.

Yeah they have amazing costumer service.

They had accidentally messed up my order. putting pleather instead of leather inside of the do.
They gave me multiple options to compensate for it. Ie, exchange (with no S&H charges) or a generous portion refund.

I may eventually get the Tengu mempo and/or the kegutsu.

If anyone needs a better picture of things just ask.

The tengu mempo is to heavy to wear ,its casted. It looks okay ,but I think its only Wall deco.

In IMO they still need to improve the design and materials. The tassel on the back of the do is way off. Completly wrong.
I buy only japanese made yoroi , even better they are normally vintage so they look "old". Even better the cost lees or the same as the China ones.
