Now THIS just isn't fair!

*begin faux rant*
Ok, I am getting just a little bit irritated with all of these vendors offering stuff I really freaking want when I'm trying desperately trying to behave myself!

Just look at what those tempters at revival clothing are offering now! Their linen gambesons in green!

*end faux rant*  :D


Sir Edward you may have to let me examine your revival clothing linen gambeson sometime in the future!  :-\

...and then a pair of those pointy-toed short boots from Sandlar Boots...I see where you are going with this and it won't work because I'm far too tall to qualify as one of Santa's elves!  :D

Heh wish I could afford a fine gambeson. Was gonna get a GDFB gambeson but those only come in large so it wouldn't fit me. Ended up buying a 70 dollar danish made gambeson imported from europe. Fits me perfectly, little tight but i'm sure it will work with the mail I ordered.

$70.00 gambeson? - That's a pretty reasonable price for a gambeson.
Details my good Sir! Details! How thick is it? What kind of material is it made of?
Is it linen, cotton, or polyester from the rare Persian polyester trees of Iran?  ;)

I'm a little on the small side too...what're your measurements, if you don't mind me asking?

They have some really great arming clothes! Too bad they're in Europe. It would be nice to have something like this that is local. I've added them to the links page.

Wow...just wow.  Some of their stuff is head and shoulders above what we have ready access to.  I'm checking all their stuff, too...wonder if anyone's tried out their armor yet?
