Product Details
Gambesons are padded under tunics. They have been used since antiquity and had a number of important functions including acting as a cushion to absorb the forces of a blow and to support the weight of overlying metal armour.
This style of gambeson was common throughout 12th to 13th century Europe and is depicted in numerous period illustrations.
Our Lord of Battles version of this type of Gambeson is designed with versitility in mind. It has detachable sleeves and is buckled up the sides so you can get a more tailored fit.
This gambeson features two layers of sturdy canvas, expertly enclosing substantial cotton batted padding.
Tthis gambeson can act as light armor suited for agile fighters such as archers and skirmishers, or any soldier who values mobility. But that’s not all; it excellently doubles as a reliable underlayer beneath plate or mail armor, giving you that much-needed protection when engaging in combat.
Available in plain off-white, brown or black. .
