Im looking for a gambeson and I cant seem to find any that were not made in India. Anyone know where to pick one up?

I do custom gambesons, but my queue is full right now. If you would like we could discuss what you are looking for, and prices. If you decide you would like to order one, I can put you in my waiting list, which is currently about 2-3 months long.

I highly, highly, suggest contacting Kindra Garnett of Kearas Designs:

The quality is excellent, she was extremely communicative, and (becuase I had a sudden deadline)turnaround time was phenomenal.

I give her work the highest recommendation possible.

I can not recommend anyone better than Edric. He made 2 different gambesons for me, and as excellent as the first one was, the second was was that much better. He is very easy to deal with, and the quality of the fininshed product is incredible.

I'll have pictures of my finished rig within a few weeks, and will gladly send them to you to prove that words do NOT do his work justice.

My girlfriend has a finished gambeson in stock, white linen shell with a black cotton denim lining, vertically quilted. It's lovely, but it's small (for about a 42" chest). And, it would work better for a pre-plate kit, since the sleeves are wide.

Email me if this sounds good and I'll email you a pic.
