The gambeson was developed as padding for armour and extra protection from sword thrusts, but it could also be worn without armour as a heavyweight, everyday tunic. Outer garb like this comfortable, black quilted gambeson made of 100 percent cotton was very popular from the early Middle Ages until the Renaissance. The lacing at the neckline slit allows you to close it up to the stand-up collar as tightly as required. Below the hips, our black quilted gambeson has slits at the front and back to provide more freedom of movement.
100% cotton.
