A 14th century gambeson, made in red and black heavy
weight linen, and lined in natural linen.

The gambeson is emblazoned with the arms of my client -
quartered red and black, with white fleurs-de-lys.  

The padding is woollen blanketing.

The gambeson is gusseted under the arms, for the additional
flexibility of movement, and it is cut with a keyhole
neckline, and back and front splits.

The sleeves are made in half red and half black, to match
the colour in the body that they extend from.

The fleurs-de-lys are cut from white wool, and appliqued
onto the gamby.
