Description
This 15th Century Arming Doublet combines historical accuracy with functionality, serving as an essential under layer for any late medieval warrior. Constructed with a triple-padded design, it features a rugged cotton canvas exterior, a breathable inner lining, and a thick quilted core—providing maximum comfort and protection beneath steel plate or chain mail.
The three-layer quilting absorbs shock and minimizes the impact of blows, helping to prevent bruising and discomfort during prolonged wear. Unlike lighter gambesons, this reinforced version delivers enhanced safety, structure, and insulation, ensuring you remain battle-ready in any setting.
The full-length sleeves include integrated arming points, allowing secure attachment of spaulders, vambraces, and other armor components. A stand-up collar protects the vulnerable neck area, while the lace-up front closure offers a traditional medieval look with the practicality of easy adjustments.
