Get 3000 yen off the total price when you purchase two pieces of armor from my other listings at the same time! Get 4000 yen off when you purchase three pieces! *Limited to the men, kote, do, and tare listed separately. Please comment if you are interested. No breaking in required! No need to soften! Wash regularly. This is used armor, but it's soft enough to use right away from the day it arrives. This is a standard type tare purchased from Zen Nihon Budogu. I believe the size is adult L. I mainly used it for practice. It's not as soft as "patapata," but it has firmness and I think it will tighten your stomach moderately.
