Samurai Costume

Step 6 The Kote (arm armor)

For this I just went with the forearm and hand armor. Regular Kote have an entire sleeve to it, but again, its a costume. I went with 3 pieces of 2" wide sintra formed to fit my forearm. These were put in line to form the forearm armor. I made a plate to cover the back of my hand. After I formed these and painted them, I hot glued some fabric to the under surface along with some Velcro to take them on and off easy.
