Check out the website, sengokudaimyo.com. It has most of the details you're looking for.

@@akimoro78 Thank you so so much man!

@@akimoro78 Would you mind telling me how you decided how many plates to use for it to fit you properly? Should I just use my chest or waist measurement or something? This will be my first dive into anything like this and I'm just really overwhelmed and confused lol

@@simonovich8977 I used my chest measurement and did the math. The website has a plate calculator that is pretty accurate. Always buy a few extra plates in case some break and you need to make repairs.

There is a calculator on their website. I used 1100 just for the chest plate. Not the tassets or shoulders.

Yes. I fought for many years in this suit as a heavy fighter in the SCA. It is made by people who are also SCAdians.

Yes. Post a link. That would be cool.

The project never really went anywhere. No one asked for them. I only fought in them a few times. The cost of steel is/was cheaper than plastic.

The pattern is similar to the Wisby gauntlets that most people make, only scaled for kydex.

They are .76" wide, 2.79" tall, and .08" thick. The link to purchase them is in the description of the video.

Ok, thanks!

The plates are from Plastic Lamellar, see the link in the description. The laces are shoelaces from Laces For Less. Thanks for the like.

You might need a little padding under them :)

Sode and kosode would increase the number by several hundred. When you make the "belts" they naturally curve. When you finish it, it lays flat.

+Kr frostbight They are rattan SCA swords. The camera distorted them so they look curved.

O i know,but the hiting sword looked like it had like foam on it or something Mike D

Nope

+drdesiree5 I would rather not. I work in plastics mostly, except for the helms that I make. I don't really want to cross over into steel gloves. But thanks for the interest!

+Michelle Puente I am 6' tall and 205 lbs. I used 1100 plates.

+Mike D Wow! 1100 plates! Thanks for posting this video. It's really going to help. My son is 16 yrs old, 5'1, 120 lbs. it's going to be a lot of work but it's going to be awesome when it's done. What do you think of using a baseball catchers chest piece. It looks a lot like the chest piece of the samauri armor. I also read gutting paracord for the lacing. Also he is the only person that has a Japanese persona. He started with Roman. I'm concerned that the other kids will all have shields but he won't be using a shield anymore with the change to samauri persona. Our Barony leans toward Viking. Will he have a major disadvantage without a shield? He's determined to have a Japanese persona regardless.

On Facebook there is a SCA Japanese group. Also be sure to sign up on Tousando.proboards.com . There is a lot of documentation of Japanese using shields. The Japanese word for shield is Tate. But my knight and I fight with two swords. I would say that it gives us a great advantage over guys who are stuck with a shield.

+madman11893 I am an armor vendor. They are a combination of several different designs.

Do you have a website

+madman11893 www.etsy.com/shop/PiratesBootyArmory These gauntlets are not on the site. They are special request only.

guitardaddy6 I wouldn't recommend it.

I didn't think so. I use gloves from Clinton Dale. His gloves are the best. nothing better on the market.

***** look him up on facebook. facebook.com/clinton.dale.92?fref=ts

***** no problem. He is a jomsviking within Jomsborg. He's an experienced fighter. They are expensive, but they are absolutely worth it. I have been hit hard in the hand many times and I have never received an injury on my hand. $175 per glove.

***** Per glove. He makes them from leather. They are extremely time intensive. I don't know if you've ever tried making leather gloves, but it sucks making glove. If you search leather protective glove on google, all of those are his gloves. I pretty much had to have them for me to train safely. you could also use hocky/lacrosse gloves for protective gear when training with steel weapons. :) good luck whatever you decide.

Luiz Fernando I put links in the description to answer your questions. Thanks for watching!

They are very easy to use. No problems.
