Has anyone had any dealings with Daimyo Outfitters at http://home.att.net/~daimyo.outfitters/ ?

If so, how good is the quality of his wares?

Damiyo Outfitters website seems to be down. Anybody know why?

It's under construction.

I ordered a keikogi, hakama and obi from him just under a year ago.

Since it was made using my measurements, it fit like a glove. I asked him specifically for lightweight material and that's exactly what I got. It still looks good as of this date.

Keep in mind that I practice Japanese Swordsmanship, so not much grappling is done to add to wear and tear. He does make a "hard bastard" version of his custom uniforms that he claims are very durable. I'd believe him.

My only compliant was the obi. The material inside curled up after a single wash and was difficult to straighten out for ironing. I solved this problem by just taking it to the dry cleaners for four dollars.

I highly recommend him. He was always courteous and returned my emails within 48 hours.


Good luck,

RC

Their website has been "under construction" for several months now. Does anyone know if they're still in business or not?

Mr. Reber is still in business, I placed an order with him two weeks ago. Here is the link to his updated price list:

I've had better luck opening this url on my wife's Mac than with my PC, though.

Try removing the last "l" from the web address.

example:

That just gives me a whackin' big NOT FOUND. I'm guessing this vendor isn't depending on the Net for sales...

[Gene McGloin]

Hmm, that link worked for me a few weeks ago on a Mac. I've been communicating with Mr. Reber via e-mails sent to:

daimyo.outfitters@att.net

You might want to get more details from the man himself.

Maybe the Mac version is up and the PC version is down. I went closer to the root directory by trying http://home.att.net/~daimyo.outfitters/ instead of the catalogue page, and I got an "Under Construction" page.

It doesn't look like they are open... at least not on the Net.
