Does anyone make gambesons for earlier kits that are not stuffed with Polyfill?
I was looking at this:

and this
But I need padding I can use in warm weather, not a chinese-style winter coat stuffed with the warmest material on earth besides dawn......
The two gambesons I own are either too warm or too short...
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Check with Baron Gareth at
www.gambesons.com . I've been talking to him about hot weather gambesons. His run around $350 and look really nice. Soon as I get my pennies saved I'm going to get one.

I've been plotting to make one based on the kragelund tunic pattern. I absolutely love the movement you get with those sleeves.
This style tunic:
I already have one I did with the elbows down padded. I want to do another with light padding on the torso and medium padding on the shoulders and outside of the upper arms, and with a collar to pad my gorget as well.
