Mino are samurai rain cape or cloak made from natural palm material and treated with a light natural wax to help repel water, while maintaining the longevity of the palm. Each samurai rain cape is meticulously and tightly hand-woven from natural palm fibers collected nearby the Iron Mountain Armory. The mino or samurai rain cape, are worn over the armor to help protect the armor from the rain and snow, while keeping the warrior warm and dry inside.

Japanese farmers, peasants, merchants and travelers would also wear mino as well, but of course smaller versions then what samurai would wear over their armor. Rain capes are worn by samurai warriors of all ranks, as well as ronin, shinobi (ninja), monks, and other travelers.
