rubensbuer: there's got to be more team members! I can see a Ranmaru, Da Qiao and Ginchiyo blurred in the backgrounds...can we see them too?

kuni_izumi: We have good tailors, but they tend charge more than a lot of tailors from China. There is a trade off...China would be cheaper, but if they make a mistake its really hard to keep up lines of communication to fix it; local might be more expensive, but you can go knock on his/her door and get it altered more easily.

Zero actually has two costumes for Kanetsugu - an expensive one from china that had quite a lot of innacuracies, and a cheaper one in singapore that was a total disaster. He's wearing the first one in the photos; it ended up getting (mostly) fixed by three different people. THAT was a hassle.

The second 'total disaster' one was unusable, it was done by the same tailor that re-did the damaged section of my Kenshin costume (there were some mistakes here too) - luckily in this case I could salvage mine by transplanting saved bits of my original, handsewn one onto it. Neither of us is seeing that tailor again.

bottom line: Making it yourself is almost always better, and cheaper.

Have you hugged an Uesugi daimyo today?
