The wrestling jacket? No, not really. It's a very tough material that will resist rips, but it's not padded.

Sir Wolf:
to be honest, padding is really over done. a few layers of linen gives enough of a bounce while wearing armour to the the trick.

Sir Ulrich:
Figured they weren't that good quality wise, at least for under maille. I am gonna probably try to make my own linen gambeson at this rate cause the only one thats for sale in the USA is too much for me money wise at the moment. Plus if I make it it would probably fit me better.

Thorsteinn:
@Sir Ulrich: I can help you with that. The gambeseon in my profile pic is one I made myself and I really like it a lot.

100% Flax Linen fabric with 100% cotton thread is the way to go.

Sir Wolf:
ya making it would prob be better. i have the white version and i haven't worn it yet.. not sure if i ever will to be honest. sigh....
