How To Get A Suit Of Armor - Part 1 - Basics 

You're welcome. That is kind of a complex question and I've been meaning to finish out this series with some more detail. Is there a particular style or time period you are looking at?

For historical recreation find a proper example from a funeral effigy, surviving suit, or artwork. Adventurer isn't really a historical role associated with specific armor, and mercenary would just be someone paid to fight; that runs the range of everything depending how well paid they are. From no armor at all to high end full suits. I've been meaning to do my follow up videos on this.

Thank you Bayardo-san. I have an unboxing video for the samurai armor at my side. Once I finish the mini series for buying armor I will have a detailed review for it.

Good question, I'm not familiar with the market down there. If Iron Mountain Armory has a distributor there, I would go through them. For the cost, you can budget and save over time, or you can buy things piece by piece; a helmet first, then do (body armor), and so on. If you're willing to try making your own and have the tools and access to materials, there is a Facebook group dedicated to that. I've got a samurai specific video as part of the follow-up on this series that I haven't finished up yet.

@@SamuraiJames there isn't really a market in South Africa.

I would definitely avoid them

Omg thank you i was so close to buyin armor from them

@@takirbolden9315 sure thing. I know their katana aren't too great even at the price point. Their armor is a little shady; click it and the price is just the helmet and mempo! All of a sudden the crazy-deal price jumps to thousands of dollars. The picture look incredibly similar to the photos from Iron Mountain Armory styles and colors, who confirmed that Romance of Men are NOT an authorized reseller, either.
