The daimyo did not have a special uniform, but they did wear a type of samurai armor called the domaru in combat. The domaru was a lighter and more flexible type of armor that allowed for greater freedom of movement. It was also often decorated with elaborate designs and crests that displayed the daimyo's status and power. In addition to the domaru, daimyo also wore other items of samurai clothing and equipment, such as the hakama (wide-legged pants), the kataginu (a shoulder garment), and the tachi (a long sword).
