She told me they were machine washable, I just need to clean the bottom though theres a bit of mud on them from walking through that faire. I'm still not sure if I should wash my gambeson, worried it might lower the durability or something, my mom keeps nagging at me to wash it but I think it might make it less durable...

Handwash it. Play it safe. Hang dry. Simple enough.

If it’s a linen gambeson you can machine wash it in cold water on delicate then HANG dry. NEVER put linen in the dryer. I wash mine after every seventh or eighth wearing.  ;)

We didn't mock you wearing a 15th century arming coat with 12th century mail, not because we're polite, but because we feared reprisal of the stench. :D

I don't know that I'll ever want to go that authentic- the smell I mean.  Its pretty bad after a day of heavy sweating, can't imagine what it'd be like after weeks on campaign; but you could.  ;)
