Seconded! You got a screaming deal on it. Finish off the second one anyway. It could be the start of a second kit, or just a swap piece. :)
Sir Ulrich:
God thats a good deal for a gambeson. Might consider getting another for myself as well, without the mittens as I realized how impractical mittened hands are for the faire. You're around the same size as me width wise. What materials is the gambeson made from?

All the kit was a screaming deal, and only required a little hand sewn modification, everything I'm wearing cost me £25 in total :)
The gambeson is made of very white linen and stuffed with cotton, yeah I like the idea of sliding my hands through slit leather palms so I can give the poor things a breather, doesn't sound like you can really do that with a full padded gambeson, also I'd find them too restricting.
A good look though if your just doing a sergeant impression, as its shown in the maciejowski bible
Sir Wolf:
http://effigiesandbrasses.com/monuments/robert_de_vere/ those chausis are a perfect match for 1221 effigy!

Cheers for that link Sir Wolf, they are a good match and wow what an invaluable source of reference!!
Next step is I'm going to have a crack at making my own scabbard that actually fits my new sword
ordered craft wood and a load of long leather offcuts all of which cost more than my actual softs!!
will keep posted!
