We apologize for any inconvenience to our EU customers, but we are still currently navigating the upcoming (General Product Safety Regulation, GPSR) coming into effect in December 2024.
The compliance requirements are significant and difficult for small artisan brands like ours to manage on short notice. As a result, we are suspending sales into the EU until we can be sure we meet these new regulatory measures appropriately.
We are working to understand and adapt to the new regulations. While we don't have a specific timeline, we are exploring solutions to meet the requirements and hope to reopen EU sales in the near future.
This will depend on the Customs agency of the country being delivered to and whether the value of your order falls under the Tax-free threshold for import duties, if your country has such a threshold.
All import taxes and duties are the responsibility of the customer.
For more information please check with your local Customs office.
Many locations, most notably the UK, EU, Canada will charge you Tax and Duty on imported leather goods from Australia.
Please note that Australian export regulations require us to declare the exact value of goods on customs invoices. We are prohibited from declaring orders at a lower value or declaring it as a gift to reduce customs duties or taxes.
We are a made-to-order business.
This means we start hand-making your gear once you have placed an order.
There is a manufacturing time and delivery time estimator on our product pages. These dates are our best estimation. They are not a guarantee.
Manufacturing time. The bit we have some control over.
Our manufacturing times are updated daily. The time will vary depending on the number of outstanding orders and other work commitments.
If we expect to take longer we will contact you to explain why and offer other options.
Delivery time. The bit we have no control over.
This is a rough estimate that covers both domestic and international orders.
Australian Express Post may be a bit quicker, and rural international deliveries may take a bit longer.
Once we have shipped your gear, the most accurate delivery date will be available from the courier.
If your parcel has not been delivered by the expected date, contact both us and the courier in your area to lodge an inquiry.
If you need your gear before a particular date, "Leave a note with your order" on the Cart page or e-mail us the details and we will try our best.
E-mail: info@armyofmen.com
If you want to add to a completed order you can either place a new order and we will refund you the shipping cost, or contact us for a discount code so you don't have to pay the shipping charge twice.

Not at this stage.
We are an online business based in Sydney, Australia.
Everything is handmade to order, so even if you visited our workshop you'd probably not find anything to try on.
Our only retail stockist, where you can browse our products in-person is GEAR Berlin, in Berlin, Germany.
Once a year we have a Samples and Seconds Sale at Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Fair Day, usually late February.
Keep your eyes on our social pages.
We do our best, but variations in screen displays mean we cannot guarantee the colour you see will be the exact colour you receive.
If you aren't happy we have an easy RETURNS & EXCHANGES policy.
Sizing standards vary a lot, so we highly recommend you invest in a tape measure and get a friend to help if you’re unsure.
Our SIZE CHARTS have all the info.
If you fall outside our size range, we may still be able to make you what you want.

Most of our harnesses have an effective range of a bit over 4" (10cm).
A size 40 (chest between 40" and 42") will comfortably fit a chest down to 39" on the smallest setting and up to 43" on the largest.
Our jockstraps have a waist adjustment range of 6" (15cm).
A size 36 (waist between 36" and 38") will comfortably fit a waist down to 34" and up to 40".
Our belts have a waist adjustment range of 5" (12.7cm).
A size 36 (waist between 36" and 38") will comfortably fit a waist between 34.5" and 39.5".
Unfortunately we don't have the time to do custom design work.
However, we will consider customisations of our existing range, such as changes to the colours of leather, threads, and hardware.
For example, our Colour Combat range can be made with stainless steel hardware instead of black.

Leather is a natural product, and keeping it in good condition requires proper care and storage.
• Wipe with a damp cloth.

• Use leather conditioner.

Since we make everything in-house, we are usually able to repair it as well.
