As delivered from Japan After restoration

Robert Soanes comes highly recommended - he lovingly restores armour (lacing, brocade, silkwork, laquerwork etc). Trained in Japan, he regularly visits his Sensei to perfect his skills. His work is of the highest standards and is hand crafted (all his restoration work uses traditional Japanese materials and is hand stitched and crafted).
