Gambesons
Sir William:
I have an IceFalcon one that I am not in love with how the arms hang...there's some extra material under the arms which James just clarified for me- it is the way they made it to hang. So, I'm going to be in the market for one, but may opt for the lighter arming cote that IceFalcon sells as I have no real need for the thick one.
Sir Ulrich:
Currently I am tied up between the revival linen one and the Matul's ones. Just don't know how to order things from Europe, seems ALL the good stuff is sold in Europe including bingo wing free maille. I may just go for jolly knight because they're the cheapest and seem to be similar to Matuls. Revival's one seems a bit.... expensive compared to the rest. Otherwise I could go for a custom made one, I don't really know anyone who could make one though so I'm out of luck there. I WAS gonna go for Icefalcon but I wanted linen not cotton or poly. After wearing cotton filled with poly I know why they made them out of linen and not cotton.

In case you missed it earlier. :)
Sir Ulrich:
Yeah, is that actually a gambeson to wear under maille or just a linen garment? Either way as long as it's custom made I would like it because I've grown tired of tube sleeved gambesons like my current one. I should be fine with a layered linen gambeson because I don't want something too stuffed because it will get hot as hell in the summer.
Sir Brian:
Revival Clothing has their Model-T cotton gambeson on sale for $139.00
