This Cotton Gambeson has triple-layer padding, side buckles, durable canvas for LARP, HEMA, reenactment. Authentic 14th-century protection.
The Medieval Cotton Gambeson (Type 3) is a faithful reproduction of the padded jackets worn by warriors of the 14th–15th centuries. Historically, this type of cloth armor acted as an independent protection in lighter combat and as the essential foundation beneath chainmail or plate.
Crafted from 100% cotton canvas, this Gambeson has a triple-layer quilted making that gives super shock absorption with being comfortable and breathable. Reinforced stitching keeps the padding stable, while side leather straps with brass buckles give easy adjustment for a perfect fit, like a modern Side Buckle Gambeson with medieval styling.
With full-length sleeves and a high collar, this padded coat gives extensive coverage for the torso, arms and neck, preventing chafing from metal armor. It works equally well for LARP, sparring, or stage productions and can be worn as a standalone layer or as an arming doublet beneath steel armor.
Triple-Layer Padding: Built with three layers of quilted wadding for maximum impact absorption.
Recycled Multi-Fibre Blend: Uses a mix of cotton, wool, and polyester for strength and comfort.
Balanced Performance: Cotton adds breathability, wool provides warmth and resilience, and polyester increases durability.
Eco-Friendly Construction: Recycled textile fibers reduce waste while maintaining authentic historical function.
Even Distribution: Vertical quilting channels keep the layers stable and prevent padding from shifting, ensuring a reliable for extended use.
