I'd love to rock one of these on the field ( perhaps a different color, and the wool would seem to be too thick and hot for hours of fighting ) How much would you charge for an outfit like this? Again, your stuff is awesome

Very interesting concept. I like the idea of combining materials and design styles... I have been mixing some too. I have Japanese hakama and other styles from several countries that I fuse together ^^

This is fabulous. Must make one. Where are the details pics I found of the Hakama?

Ooh, that's a great choice for the top. Beautiful pin, too!

I love how this pulls together. The colors and drapey shoulders make me think celtic, but the pants are Japanese.

Where did you find the loden wool fabric? I'm trying to locate some without much luck.

Loden is a traditional material over here in Austria (and surely other countries, too). If you seriously want direct links to German/Austrian online shops who offer this, email me. I'm happy to help with translation, if babelfish doesn't do the trick. 
Be warned ahead, though: Loden is not cheap. Depending on quality and thickness it may cost from 20 Euros per meter up to 60 or even more.
Plus there'd be high shipping costs, I imagine.

If you really do then Please feel free to e-mail us at Sale@lastwear.com
We do have the fabric on hand but it would have to be cleared by Thom be first

Might take a thought on that at some point

I really like how the cape folds. It looks very warm and comfortable.

Its the little details in your outfits--the belt-thing (I'm sure it has a fancier name, haha), the sleeves--that make them for me. Looks snuggly!

Well on a Japanese Hakama they're called Himo (which just means a cord) and we like the word so we call them that too.
There are a whole bunch of different ways you can tie them; maybe we'll do a how to guide at some point.

Ahhh, that is awsome! Looks so comfy!
I suppose you wouldn't tell me who your fabric supplier is would you? ^_^

I'd love to but this particular fabric is the last roll of an odd lot. I got 75yds of it and then there's no more left
I'm trying to source some more of this at the moment but so far no luck. It's very hard to come by felted wool.
For out canvas and twill we go through Sew ecological but they have a 100yd minimum order so I don't know if that helps you much.

I like that hakama, but the real cool touch I feel is that shoulder wrap with the brooch!

Thanks, It was a piece I'd cut for a wash test that I had lying around. I threw it on because I was cold and then I was like "hey, this looks great".

Looks like a stereotypical protagonist. I like the broach (spell?)

That is so awesome! Old skool Japan mixed with Highland sensibility and attitude. You guys rule!

Cheers mate, you got it right there. The broach is from Edinburgh, the stone is Cairngorm Quarts.

You guys are working on some really cool stuff! Any armour in the future?

Yup, we hope so. I've been wanting to do more metal working of late.
