This was as close to the 'real' thing as you can get without visiting Konoha. The plate is metal, the etching is deep and very realistic, the fabric is long, it is easy to tie on the head. The plate can be bent to fit your specific head or any body part, but bending around the edges isn't easy, so some tools will help. There is also a fabric tab behind the panel that attaches with Velcro in two positions, giving you even more options for attaching the headband to your body/suit! My daughter isโฆ
