Have you been through Sengoku Daimyo, yet? Read through the armor manual, particularly the early chapters on the different types of armor, and that may help you. Once you figure out the look you want to achieve, we can help from there. -Ii Katsumori |

Okay, so answer the following:
1) What is your general timeframe?
2) Of the pictures of armor on the site, were there specific ones you can point to (you can copy the link and put it here, if you want)?
3) Did you look at the pages on kote and sode? Also, if you are looking at kote, look at haidate (if appropriate) and suneate, since the three usually are done together as a matched set.

Okay, so determine if you want to do the kebiki odoshi or not--that is a lot of lacing. Either way, you'll want to match the lacing of the dou to the sode.
Tosei sode are a great choice for that period.
Shino-kote are classic--you can do shino-suneate to go along with them and match well.

You *can* wear anything. You are looking later (16th century) armors that are evoking an earlier feel, but you can do that with just about any helmet. A Hineno-style is going to be the easiest to do, but some thoughts:
1) Extremely impractical for SCA, usually, but a good kawari-kabuto is probably how this would finish out in the 16th century. After all, a kebiki-osdoshi laced dou says something about you, and the helmet should as well.
2) Otherwise, I'd suggest a multiplate bowl with a medium to wide shikoro with lacing that matches your dou. A good maedate and either a kasa-, ichimaju-, or komanju-jikoro. Match the lacing style to your sode and kusazuri.
Those are my suggestions.

Ah.... then don't worry about any of the SCA restrictions.
The eboshi sugata kawari kabuto can look really nice. If you want some extra special spiffyness, you can build a light frame and create a fabric one (I recommend spray painted buckram, though lacquered cloth is what they sould have used) that you wear over top.
