Ed's c.1250-1300 kit(s)

[Sir William]

I gotta check them out...its been a while.

[Sir Edward]

Jess Finley (Fuhlen Designs) is just finishing up my new gambeson. I'll be picking it up tonight.

[Sir Wolf]

wow awesome.
1 think concerns me. the buttons might get caught on the mail.  I would have maybe gone with a point closure method but yours looks great man. how much did she charge if you don't mind me asking? I would love to have one some day..... some day ehhehe.
can she make add on mittens with a slit in the palm? maybe have them tie onto the aketon etc?

[Sir William]

Wow, that one's a beaut, Sir Edward.  Looks tre comfortable too.

[Sir Edward]

I'm not too concerned about the buttons, they're fairly wide. But we'll see how it goes. Part of what I'm going to be doing is having a front-closure for the hauberk, so if it comes to it, I'll put a leather backing on the hauberk there.

I hadn't really thought about tie-on mittens, but I'm sure she could do it (and she's usually pretty excited to try new things).

She charged me her normal gambeson price ($350), but I think she said she'd discount it a bit since she ran past her time estimates (it's a month late now).

[Sir Brian]

Huzzah and congratulations on your sweet new acquisition!

[Sir Wolf]

coolness, can you tell us the materials used? how thick? machine stitched quilting?

[Sir Edward]

Natural linen, and I think she used cotton padding. Machine stitched, yes.

[Sir Gerard de Rodes]

Very nice Sir Ed and well cut too.

[Sir William]

That's exactly what Ulrich needs...

[Ian]

Congrats Sir Ed, get some good pics when you get it home!

[Sir Edward]

Well, it'll be a few more days. She made the sleeves too tight, so she's going to rework it.

[SirNathanQ]

Looks really good! 

[Sir James A]

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.

[Lord Dane]

Very nice, Sir Edward. On topic, here's some of my gambesons.
