It's kind of hard to tell from the pictures, but it looks pretty good for a first attempt. Well done.

All of those teeth on the torso pieces are a nice touch. Looks legit, man.

Mask/helm-thing could use some work, but everything else looks pretty nice.

I'm assuming you mean the crest, its made out of feathers. the base is two peices of leather laced together. on the inside i put carpet tape in to help hold in the feathers.

I really like this armour and think to looks really slick. Its all the details in the accessories. Looks very heavy infantry tribal I think (especially with the feather mohawk).

to a point yes, just have to remove a few peices of lacing and the whole crest is off.
