Note: <\/em>This chart is meant as a general reference \u2013 while the actual sizes are larger than regular sizes this is because we discovered during our market research that due to the thickness of our gambeson most people preferred a somewhat larger size than they would normally choose in the case of civilian clothing. Please note that if you are on the cusp between sizes that general fit preferences and size of your frame should determine which size you choose. For a looser fit and\/or a heavier frame order the larger size. If you prefer a more tailored fit or are of slimmer build order the smaller size. This style is designed to be looser in the chest and more fitted in the waist and hips as were the historical models.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Our basic gambeson is based on a combination of 14th century sources, both extant garments and contemporary artwork. We\u2019ve retained the most important aspects of the historical patterns, particularly the exaggerated armhole, also called \u2018le grande assiette sleeve\u2019, which permits complete freedom of arm movement. Made with an outer layer of heavy cotton \u00a0this gambeson is the \u2018budget\u2019 version compared to our linen gambeson. Its \u00a0arm pattern make it well suited for use with arm harness. Taking inspiration from period garment quilting designs, it is padded with cotton batting and has a medium weight cotton canvas lining for a combination of protection and breathability. We have added a collar for additional comfort. Handmade cloth buttons are used just like those used in period. We recommend dry cleaning this item in order to extend its life to a maximum. Machine washing and especailly drying will break down the fibers over time. If you do choose to wash your gambeson \u2013 only do so in cold water and hang to dry \u2013 never machine dry as that is the most destructive part of modern washing.<\/p>
