This is completely autistic

What? I think it kinda looks cool, would be neat to display in the living room. But it is kinda expensive and the replicas I see online are about the same price.

if that suit somehow makes you happy, you're gonna buy it, and you're gonna wear it out of the store.

>>35147373
This

OP must wear it out of the store. If you dont, there will be no redemption for OP'S faggotry

Good luck selling it for over 100 dollars even a year from now

>>35147373
This.
Personally i think its cringe tier, but then again i have an infatuation with cowboys n shiieet so go crazy dude itll be a conversation piece.

>>35147326
looks like shit. real ceremonial armor like that was made out of laquered wood and metal plates. that appears to be burlap and sticky-tack

>>35147373
this is true though. if you want it buy it. 900 bucks is a lot for that kinda quality though. you could probably commission LARPer people to make you a much nicer one for a similar price.

Why do these always try to look so edgy with their red and black colours
Whatever happened to subtle dark tones

>>35147501
Did samurai ever really wear full armor into battle? Or is it like the ceremonial knight shit

>>35147326
doesn't look authentic if that's what you're asking

Samurai warfare was very ritualistic, they did crazy shit like even putting perfume on their helmets so that their heads would smell good for whoever decapitated their heads as prizes.

>>35147326
That's the armour of Oda Nobunaga! People will pay a fortune just to look at that armor, and now it's yours!

>>35147501
theyre showpieces meant for places with low lighting

also the main audience is anime-obsessed mallninjas, so

>>35147457
look man i cant appraise samurai armor but if its just gonna sit in your foyer on a little homemade stage then why not, its your money nigga

>>35147602
no it wasn't. just like in europe, high ranking/rich people had more than one set of armor: however many for battle, and one for appearing in to see other high ranking/rich people.

>>35147514
its ceremonial knight shit

real armor was usually bundled straw, leather, and wood plates, worn under a robe basically

most warfare wasnt done with swords, even, pike-equipped cavalry dominated warfare in japan, right up until the gun was introduced

looks chinky as fuck, you can probably buy the same set for $40 if you search the internet to find the chinese supplier

>>35147629
>oda nobunaga
>literally reked japan because he had guns

just buy it and indulge your autism.

>>35147326
Almost certainly a replica, but if it's cool and you can spare the money, why not?

>>35147326
For $900 it's most likely a Chinese-made decorative piece or something, which would make sense if this is just your run-of-the-mill import store for weebs.

If you want the real thing, be prepared to pay out the ass for it: http://www.samurai-store.com/armor/in-stock.html

I live in Japan and recently went to a Samurai museum, they had some cool Samurai matchlock rifles on display. Then this lady pushed me outside to wear their demo Samurai helmet and suit for pictures even though I just wanted to stay inside and look at the matchlocks, If you buy that for 900 dollars I will laugh at you (in Japanese)

>pic related

>>35147326

Is a fairly good looking reproduction, but max i would pay is 600 if it comes with the transport box and the undercoat.

if you pay 900 is a scam.

>>35147514
Of course they did, and since they lacquered everything, they typically had their iron or steel armor done with bright colors, because why the fuck not?
Now naturally, some armor would be for battle and some others for parading, but one doesn't cancel the other, just like you have utilitarian and fancy clothes in the same wardrobe.

>wood plates
oh it's the bs again...

Does it look like you would fight in it? If not it is fake or clothes with parts.

offer $700, if it'd make you happier to have that then anything else you could do with that amount of money get it.

>>35147326
You won't be able to wear it unless you are a very small man, so what is the point?

>>35154230
it's for display, like a sculpture.
