12th Century Gambesons
Hey All, I am looking for any patterns that are distintly 12th century. Anything that made them different than any other types? All I can really see is the dags at the bottom (Mac Bible).
Westerners, we have forgotten our origins. We speak all the diverse languages of the country in turn. Indeed the man who was poor at home attains opulence here; he who had no more than a few deiners, finds himself master of a fourtune.

Thanks James, I know that Mac Bible is 1250s but it is the easiest illumination that I have access to and so I am really forced to kind of extrapolate between the Bayeaux Tapestry and that, and then try to find the start date of (insert idea here) on the internet so that I can figure out when certain things started to become popular. I am eventually going to get the Osprey book about the timeperiod but right now, I am reduced to the internet. I wasnt really wild about the idea of dags on the bottom anyway, it was just the only thing that looked really different at a glance besides the really late period stuff (Black Prince and Charles de Blois look completely different to me than the earlier stuff).

Only in Meridies would we call 14th century "real late period".
Steve of 4th Castle has pics of what i think your looking for on the Forth Armouy site.
Kinda a long padded inset sleve tunic. I think Ospery Ouremer has a good pic.

Hey when you are around 2nd Crusade and the "latest" person at fighter practice is only Sir Gunther, then late is a defensible statement. After all it is around 2-3 hundred years later. Even the looonngg wars only lasted half that.
