Cause most custom stuff is in the 300 dollar range which is above my budget. I could always dye it black also. This is also in my period it looks like a 1200s gambeson and its sizing wont be too big on me as I measured the sleeve size.

That one is also a possibility.

Try these too Sir Ulrich. They are lightweight & time period to Crusaders.
Sir William:
Those look like later era arming coats, a gambeson from the Crusade era would've been more thickly padded. Like this one:
Icefalcon carries them, this one just happens to be mine.
Sir Ulrich:
Asked them if they used Paypal 2 days ago no response yet. Getting a bit impatient cause now I'm worried I might not get mine in time when I order it. I was thinking of ordering a full set of arming clothes to save money on shipping plus it would be custom. I did find out the icefalcon ones have a poly fill and cost a little more than the one I want so I am just gonna order custom cause I dont want poly filled. Cept I do think the thin ones arent poly filled. Though I would like a thicker one so the maille is softer on my shoulders.
Sir William:
A padded collar might suit you, Ulrich- try this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Padded-Gorget-Medieval-Armour-Collar-Substrata-protection-chain-mail-/261051237342?pt=AU_Militaria&hash=item3cc7ddc3de - it'll save you from having to buy a whole other gambeson (I'm assuming you've been wearing one all along, it just wasn't as padded as you like it); these guys are in New South Wales (Australia) so shipping's something to think about but since you seem bent on ordering overseas, why not this? They've got a lot of goods to offer, you might find their gambeson to suit you as well.
Sir Ulrich:
Yeah I am thinking of ordering 2 things from there if the polish dude doesn't get back to me soon. They got nice stuff there and well I DO need a new aketon because my current one doesnt go down to my knees thus making the maill flap around and ruin my braies and chausses. Maybe I could get padded cuisses to solve that? But that will be my last ditch method if I cant get a new gambeson by October.
