What about padding options- is 'wadded cotton' all you offer or do you offer more historical options, like horsehair or wool? Also, for the liner, is linen an option or is cotton the only choice? Will you include gussets under the arms so that when raised, the rest of the garment remains flat against the body w/out moving? How tailored will the final item be?
. We make all products according to the customer's individual measurements. The cost of gambesson depends on amount of materials and the complexity of a wanted style that's why I indicated the size.Yes we do.Belemrys wrote: Also do you do grande assiette sleeves?
As long as it breathes well and wicks away moisture (as opposed to absorbing it and making you feel very wet and very heavy)...Paladin74 wrote:The red gambeson has no buttons- it looks like it is pinned shut just for the picture; is this so, or is this how it will actually look and work? Buttons, straps, thongs- which, if any, do you offer as closure options for these gambesons? I suppose the padding material isn't such a big deal as no one's going to see it.

The customer ordered it without buttons, he wanted to attach his own buckles.Paladin74 wrote:The red gambeson has no buttons- it looks like it is pinned shut just for the picture; is this so, or is this how it will actually look and work?

It breathes well, wicks away moisture and dries quickly. Our fighters use gambessons with this liner and have no complaints (we live in a very hot area, up to +104F in summer).Belemrys wrote: As long as it breathes well and wicks away moisture (as opposed to absorbing it and making you feel very wet and very heavy)...
Well, I was thinking more along the lines of Living History- as I don't know offhand, I just assume that they'll question it anyway...even the bits that you couldn't show unless you cut something apart or what have you.Belemrys wrote:As long as it breathes well and wicks away moisture (as opposed to absorbing it and making you feel very wet and very heavy)...Paladin74 wrote:The red gambeson has no buttons- it looks like it is pinned shut just for the picture; is this so, or is this how it will actually look and work?
