Padded gambesons of this kind are historically a quilted jacket consisiting of a numer of fabric layers, made from canvas or linen, with quited inners made from softer linen or wool. For noblemen and royalty, the top layer was silk as a display of wealth. More common colours included red brlwn and natural linen, green and blue.

The gambeson is machine quilted as a part of the construction process, allowing this feature of the garment to become part of the design; seams and lines follow the movement and joints of the body working with you when fighting from the first day you wear it.

Key features:

Custom manufacture - made to measure

Light weight fabric and construction - more breathable and comfortable.

Tie front and neck

High neckline

Additional fabric at the elbows and armpit to aid flexibility and range of movement
