Medieval 3 Layered Padded Gambeson Coat Type 10 Quilted Cotton Armor Jacket with Buckled Front Closure & Recycled Multi-Fibre Wadding for LARP & HEMA

Description

Step confidently into medieval combat with the Type 10 Triple-Layer Gambeson, a faithful reproduction of padded armor worn across Europe from the 13th to 15th centuries. More than just costume-grade gear, this gambeson is engineered for real use in HEMA, LARP, SCA combat, offering both authenticity and durability.

Built with three protective layers, it balances comfort with resilience:

• Outer Shell: Heavy-duty cotton canvas, quilted for abrasion resistance.

• Padding: Thick recycled multi-fibre wadding (cotton, wool, polyester blend) that disperses impact.

• Inner Lining: Soft and breathable for comfort during long sessions.

The extended length provides coverage down to the thighs, while the rear slit ensures freedom of movement whether on foot or mounted. A high collar adds vital throat protection, and four leather buckled straps keep the coat secure and adjustable.

Unlike lighter, decorative gambesons, this Type 10 is combat-ready—built for sparring, stage combat, and medieval training.
