That's the awesome thing with somebody local - sleeves too tight? Get it adjusted without a month (and cost) of shipping back and forth.  Congrats on the new gear. :)

Exactly! She re-did the sleeves from scratch, since they need to be bigger (and she did the work after I was there that night, it sounds like), and she said there was enough material in the seams to widen the body a little too. The plan is to get it from her tomorrow night in class at VAF.

I recognize the black GDFB one, Dane, but who made the yellow and navy one?

Based out of Australia. It's a nice quality for $130.00 USD. It had the look I wanted without custom-order.

Ok, I thought I'd seen it before...they have an ebaY store.  How's the fit?

Large fits me fine. It's very comfortable. I use it as attire for squires in my SCA group.

Jess got done with my gambeson/aketon. It's still a little snug in places (elbow, armpit), but it's not restrictive in combat moves, and I can raise my arms without the body lifting.

Looks good Sir Edward. A snug waist belt keeps it from riding up if that problem exists when you lift your arms up. Worked good on my gambeson when I had that problem.

Wow! That looks great! Are you going to wear armor over it? - Almost a shame to grunge-ify it but combined with tailored maille you will be very comfortable in your harness!  :)

Wow, that turned out great! My understanding is the snugness in the arms is what helps keep the body from raising when you lift your arms (snug as compared to the cut of a T-shirt, at least). Unless there is something called the 'grand aissette' (I've butchered the spelling...), which is how the Revival gambesons are, with that "circular" cut look to the sleeves.

Congratulations on the new gambeson! Now the question is ... will the first thing to grungify it be the mail, or Sir Brian and I with our grubby gauntlets?

Also, I do notice a distinct lack of green on it. Perhaps that can be taken care of at next Friday's event... :D

Hey thanks for reminding me that I need to get some green tape for my blade Sir James! Also does this mean you'll definitely be going next Friday?  :)

lol, it already has some blue in it from the chalk marks during the sewing.  :)

It's going to go under the riveted hauberk eventually, so I'm sure it'll be pretty grungy eventually. But for now it looks nice and pretty. I am tempted to fight in it on Friday.

Do it, Sir Edward.  It is as nice looking as its going to get, and considerably nicer looking than it soon will be.  ;)
