This long gambeson has some feature of its medieval ancestors, for example, natural fabrics, wadding, stitching, and lacing for fastening. But, cut of this padded gambeson is adapted for HEMA standards.

Made-to-measure gambison may be sewn by two ways:

In this article, we're telling how to choose a gambeson.

HEMA style gambeson

or

Gentlemen prefer leather laces

First of all, have a look at HEMA gambeson in front of you. Do you know, what makes it as it is? That nice overlap of flaps on the chest part. Firstly, there is always additional protection of body. As even if two layered gambeson was ordered, you will get four layers of protection on the chest. Secondly, there is a severe conformity to HEMA standards. We will talk more specifically about it.

In case, two honorable gentlemen have a modicum of free time, desire to warm-up and specific knowledges about Historical European martial arts, so why would two honorable gentlemen and their comrades, having discussed about martial arts a little bit, not to rough up each other with bats. Without evil intent, but as a part of historical experiment only. 

That’s how a soldier, writer, swordsman and true gentlemen Alfred Hutton were considering in the 1862 year, when he organized his own Cameron Fencing Club and published 12-page manual for historical fencing “Swordsmanship”. HEMA enthusiast existed before Mr. Hutton, however we owe just to him modern golden age of this sport historical movement.

And, in order to have still gentleman look after such experiment, but not be like lower class, covered with grazes and bruising, these gentlemen will require such a little as padded gambeson.

It is worth to notice that primarily HEMA gambeson was not aimed for reconstruction of historical protecting clothing. It had being designed just as functional protecting clothing, which was providing proper protection of blows of dull steel sword. Gentlemen have chosen gambeson armor in particular instead of common fencing protection, because it proved successful during the centuries.

However, modern padded jacks shifted away from the forefathers so much that now have even zip fasteners. Think it over! Zip fasteners! I just choke with a piece of pudding! No, no, and no! So what if zipper is much faster and easier in use, than strings. We suggest such choice non-gentleman, criticize it in every way and insist on the using of leather strings in particular. That allows your HEMA style being HEMA jacket and classy medieval gambeson at the same time, in which it is not a shame for any gentleman to take a walk at the presentable event among other ladies and gentlemen in historical clothing.

Our tailors were working hard, studying HEMA manuscripts, ancient tapestries and gravures, and created really cross-functional aketon armor. The one, which allows not only fencing, but also making wonders of acrobatics. It looks decent, but may complete even royal armor at the highest level. It is cut according to the HEMA rules, but definitely unique. Classy pass to the courteous community ;) 

When you will be ordering your gambison, you may choose not only fabric and color (or color combination, as we offer half or quarter-colored padded protection as well), leather, type of stitching and size. It is up to you what quantity of layers will be in your padded gambeson, whether it will be sewn or laced sleeves, or will they be absent at all.

You will get real custom gambeson, made only for you, which will serve you for years, protecting good and delighting an eye.

Royal brigandine for SCA and fencing If we will appeal to history, we clear up the brigandine armor appeared in service of Europeans as an attempt to match something to Eastern lamellar armor, as chainmail couldn’t deal with it. If you are interested at details, here you can read about first medieval brigandines.  There are histories about crusaders, full of pain and envy, who could not rob enough lamellar armor from nasty Saracens, so were inspiring European blacksmiths with money and beating for making of brigandine. However, it is not the entire story… To the end of the XIII century, when blacksmiths acquired skills and knights appreciated light and mobile protection, brigandine armor suddenly became… fashion one. Not only cavalrymen worn it, but also foot soldiers. Simple, but classy “masculine” accessory was appreciated at court. Then nobility, especially a young one, quickly got into brigandine. It is easy to understand them, as it was quite common thing in high society to be stubbed during morning tea-par..

Viking clothing outfit for men Odin, father of gods an people, was a great humorist. He was ruling Asgard and Æsir not only with powerful arm and with not too adequate decisions, but, on the spur of moment, he often went down into Midgard – to wander among the people for a while, to listen tittle-tattle, to drink some ale and simply to have a good time. As a rule, Odin was wandering in his own look of one-eyed elder, who wears a cloak and hat with wide flaps, with two talking ravens on his shoulders – Huginn and Muninn… And, he was scratching his head - why do people recognize him? Well, yes, only feeble-minded Viking could not take this one-eyed old man, wearing a cloak, with broadbrim, staff and two raven on the shoulder for Odin. So, wishing to wander without needless excitement and crowd of fans, he was choosing the less remarkable and recognizable public image. On one occasion, he was travelling in the simplest style and traditional Viking clothing. The one, which you see now here. Those days, father worn top-qual..
