    • Thank you for your detailed review 🙂
      As you know the kachi class suits are made with some more economical parts which as you see can sometimes need repair. Also as noted on the “Kachi Class VS Gashira Class” – Menpo section “HOOKS: Gashira Class Menpō will always come with Ori-Kugi hooks on either side. These are used to help secure the mask when the kabuto is tied in place on the head. Kachi Class Menpō are not guaranteed to come with these hooks.” This is a feature added by the apprentice armor maker if they are able to add them. Gashira, Taisho and Daimyo (respectfully) are more consistent in quality and details.
      Please contact us directly for any support, if needed. Thank you again 🙂

  4. Received my order just in time for halloween thanks!
