Couldn't be happier with this gambeson. Wear this for hema and pairs well when attaching polymer plates or without. But most importantly, it looks bad ass. Thank you Steel Mastery staff.

My gambeson fits really well. Unfortunately, I have grown fat so it is not easy to find suitable things. The workmanship is good too. The care is also good (Ann does it great.) I took a 2 layer gambeson, for people who do LARP in Germany that is sufficient. This gambeson will be my "winter gambeson". I'll have a thinner one made for the summer.My english is not that good i hope this article was helpful.

Great gambeson! My one complaint is that the cuffs of the sleeves were a bit too tight but that was easily fixed and was probably my fault for not measuring my wrists correctly.

The gambeson I got looks to be of finest quality. I can't wait to use it in action! It feels great when wearing it. My only "complain" is about the long production process (almost 13 weeks) but I can partly blame myself about that because I made my order in the market season.
