Kendo Men's Crown Circumference 68cm Titanium Navy Deer Leather Armor

I bought this on another flea market site, but it didn't fit, so I'm listing it. I've been very honest about both the good and bad points.

■ Size
First, my measurements. Around the crown of my head: 68cm. Around the forehead (hachimaki): 58cm.
Next, the results after attaching the men (mask):

◇ Around the crown of the head
68cm is a perfect fit. It's a snug fit, not too tight.

◇ Forehead (hachimaki)
A little small. When viewed from the side, a small part of the back of the head, or rather the Hand towel, is slightly visible. Measuring with a tape measure, it was 18cm from the edge (see image). For reference, the men I currently use that fits perfectly (absolutely no room to spare) is 18.5cm. It should be a small difference...
It might fit well for someone with a head circumference of 55-57cm. Please measure your current men.

■ Features
Includes a Narita Nobutake-do tag and a previous owner's name tag. It's machine-stitched, but the men-gane (metal frame) is an Ouro-jirushi (brand) all-titanium men-gane. Even though it's titanium, I was surprised by how light it felt when I held it.
Made with navy deerskin. The decoration is with red dot stitching.
The futon (padding) is thin and firm. It doesn't feel like it has much resilience. It's likely made to be easily shaped to your preference. Strangely, it has a good fit. It's lightweight. I think it's at a level that can be used for practice by anyone except those who are extremely rough.
There's a string at the throat area to make it easier to shape.
The dye smell from the protective gear is a bit noticeable. It's not an unpleasant sweat smell.
There's some discoloration on the chin area. After purchase, it was only tried on. It has not been used for practice.

■ A Few Extra Words
Titanium men-gane can be made thinner (due to its greater durability than light alloys), which allows for a clearer field of vision compared to light alloys, making it feel like you can see your opponent better. This was the reason I was looking for it.
However, titanium is usually only incorporated into hand-stitched items costing over 100,000 yen.
So, although I jumped at the chance to buy it, I was disappointed that the forehead size didn't fit for the first time.
