Two armor stands are found in each taiga village outdoor armory, one equipped with an iron helmet, the other with an iron chestplate.
Piglins have about a 1.7% chance to barter iron boots enchanted with a random level of Soul Speed when given a gold ingot.
Zombies, skeletons, and their variants have a chance to spawn with armor, with a 1.10% chance of it being iron armor. If killed by a player, there is an 8.5% chance of dropping the armor. The dropped armor has a random durability and retains any enchantments it has.
In Bedrock Edition, pillagers and vindicators that spawn in raids have a small chance to drop an iron helmet, iron chestplate, iron leggings, or iron boots, in a badly damaged state, with a possibility of having a random enchantment.
Iron armor can be bought from armorers.

Wearing armor reduces incoming damage according to two values: armor, and armor toughness. Each piece of armor provides a given armor and armor toughness value, and the values from each armor piece are added together when calculating damage reduction.
The strength of incoming damage also determines the damage reduction of worn armor, as armor does not protect in a linear fashion.
