CUSTOM GAMBESONS

Until today I was concerned over how protective the new gambesons would be.  However, they protected us both quite well in combat, from both thrusts and cuts.  I was able to fight much longer than I could have, if I had been wearing a lighter gambeson but with my haubergeon over it.    I was hoping this would be a significant development in Western Martial Arts, but until these gambesons were actually fought in, it was still just a plan.    It is good to see a plan come together.  Three layers of canvas enclosing  all-cotton  padding, quilted overall.
