Gambeson Upgrade

(1/2) > >>

Sir Patrick:
Just finished a new, more historical gambeson. Canvas weight linen inside and out, cotton fill. Machine stitched the channels (for sanity's sake) but hand stitched the rest. Used this pattern http://reconstructinghistory.com/product/rh023-14th-century-jupon-of-the-black-prince/ with a few tweaks for my time period. Since I was feeling crafty, I braided the laces from hemp twine and made the aiglettes from brass sheet.

Thorsteinn:
Having sewn a gambeson myself I must say well done sir!

Sir Rodney:
Sweeeeet!   :)

Lord Dane:
Awesome!! :)

Sir William:
I'm always envious when someone has the skills to pull something like this off- nicely done, Sir Patrick!
