Gambeson with buckles, off-white
A gambeson is virtually indispensable for re-enactment and medieval show fighting.
The gambeson, also called aketon, padded jack or arming doublet, is a quilted, padded garment which was usually worn underneath plate and chainmail armours. It made these steel armours more comfortable to wear and could absorb enemy blows, thus reducing the risk of injury.
Our solidly crafted gambeson is made of 100% cotton with a thick and comfortable padding out of 100% polyester. It is available in five standard sizes. Additionally, the chest girth can be freely adjusted thanks to the leather straps and brass buckles.

- Upper material: 100% cotton
