Medieval 14th Century Type 6 Quilted Armor Jacket with Recycled Multi-Fibre Wadding Triple Layer Protection for LARP & HEMA

Description

This 14th Century Type 6 Quilted Gambeson is  a faithful reproduction of historical padded armor designed for both authenticity and modern use. This gambeson offers the ideal balance of historical style, protective padding, and sustainable materials, making it indispensable for fighters, and performers.

Constructed with three layers of dense quilting, it provides excellent shock absorption while maintaining freedom of movement. The buttoned front closure ensures a snug, period-accurate fit, while the vertical stitched channels prevent the padding from shifting during combat. The tall padded collar offers essential neck protection, reducing chafing when worn under chainmail or plate.

Its cotton canvas shell is built for durability, while the recycled multi-fibre wadding (wool, cotton, polyester blend) delivers warmth, breath ability, and eco-conscious construction.

Whether worn on its own for lighter combat or layered under mail and plate for full battle readiness, this gambeson is crafted for serious use in HEMA, SCA combat, LARP, stage, or living history events.
