This listing is marked SOLD and is no longer available
I am putting up for sale a size large, black linen gambeson from Revival Clothing. It is in excellent condition. I am only selling it because I recently bought a size medium, which fits me better. It is this model here, only in black:
While it has been used quite a bit, it may as well be new from how it looks, which is quite a testament to the quality. The black has only just barely faded, and even that isn't noticable unless if you lay it against a brand new one.
The gambeson has good padding for free fencing with various weapons, but phenomenal mobility. I've never worn another arming garment that gives you the same level of movement, particularly at the armpits. You can raise your arms up without having the entire garment raise with you. I've used it for bouting with shinai, wooden wasters, aluminum and steel (in addition to other safety equipment, such as head protection), and it's held up great.
I am asking $275, and I will pay shipping to the continental US. Considering that a new one costs around $350 when you factor in the shipping, that's quite a bit of savings for one, particularly for the condition it's in.HistoricalHandcrafts.com
