  Gambeson Arming Shirt with Slit and Removable Arms, Alternate Build

  SKU: PA2046.RC

  Known variously as the gambeson, aketon, arming doublet, or padded jack, this quilted defensive garment was a vital part of medieval equipment from around the 10th century onward, worn either as standalone armour or beneath mail and plate. Built from multiple layers of linen or wool stitched together by quilting, with stuffing that varied from scrap cloth to horsehair, a sufficiently thick gambeson offered genuinely excellent protection, absorbing and distributing the force of blows while preventing the chafing that bare mail or plate would otherwise cause against the skin. The word aketon likely derives from the Arabic al-qutn, “the cotton,” reflecting the garment’s origins and preferred stuffing material.

  This version offers an alternative build to our other slit-and-removable-arms gambeson arming shirt, giving a genuinely adaptable garment for different armour combinations.
