Jinbaori

Jinbaori

The Epic Armoury Jinbaori is a traditional open overcoat to be worn over a high-ranking samurai’s armor. Reaching from the shoulders to the mid-thigh and edged with broad golden bands along the collar and hem, this handsome garment adds detail and interest to an Asian-inspired costume. Fit shoulder armor outside the Jinbaori by threading straps through the four eyelets located on the back and front. Each eyelet is clearly marked by golden edging, adding strength and aesthetic appeal.

On the back, the Jinbaori has two slits allowing maximum mobility. These slits also allow a sword to hang comfortably from a belt beneath the coat. The garment is made of durable, but comfortable cotton with gold colored cotton edging. Fully compatible with Epic Armoury's other Asian styles, the Jinbaori is for the warrior looking to display his status and skill on the field of glory.
