The range of motion is very good. It doesn't actually start to slightly pull on the sides until I lift my arms past the horizontal
plane and even then it isn't all that much.

Now I'm extremely tempted to order a custom gambeson from them made out of linen along with padded chausses. I could also customize it to be in red and black which is exactly what I want. One problem though it may be too nice to wear under greasy maille.

Cool. I don't see a front or back closure. Is it just a pull-over?
I wonder how well it would take a dye, to re-color it. I was about to say, "oh, I can just photoshop that", but that wouldn't help you at the renfaire.

Yes it is a pull over which you have to shuck yourself out of like maille!
Dye job huh? Something to consider! Although if anything I'd go darker and try and turn it into a genuine red and little less of a Freddie Mercury fuchsia!

The gambeson was on sale @ $112.00 and the shipping was $38.79 (stuff from the Ukraine always has murderous shipping charges). My “in stock” item took about six weeks so I wouldn’t be expecting it any sooner than that. I also recommend as few layers of linen that they offer if you intend to wear it under maille because the seven layers are THICK!

That looks well worth the wait. And it matches the flannel pants, too - just call it your clan tartan.

That isn't too bad, I probably can afford it then. I am planning on getting it with 3 layers at most. I like the fact they offer half color gambesons as well which is something I may get. Customization is always the best.
