WTB: Two (2) large gambeson/lentner shells.

I need two large, oversized gambeson shells that I can stuff with loads and loads of cotton wool that I've got hanging around.

Preference for something cut along the lines of a robe or caftan, which I can then simply button and belt to fit whoever's using it. Estimate a 42 sleeve on a size L body. Prefer a natural fiber: I'm in Texas, and need this sucker to breathe.

This is not for any kind of re-enactment, but because I need a cane and sabre-sparring jacket for two of us in our salle, so we can go at it without worrying about cracked bones. So while I don't want something that totally looks ass, period buttons and all of that kind of jazz, are totally irrelevant -- I simply don't have the time to do the sewing right now.

Interested parties please reply directly here, or by email, I will monitor both. Thanks.

Russ, you might want to contact Master Geoffry at GAA. A friend of mine got two padded arming coats from him patterned like Mongol del's. Real nice work at a great price.
