A skunk is almost indispensable for exhibition and free combat. Gambesan, also called gambison, armored doublet, or aketon, was worn underneath plate armor and chainmail in the Middle Ages. It increased the comfort of its steel armor and could also cushion enemy blows, thus reducing the risk of injury.
This gambeson from Ulfberth is made of three layers of fabric: an outer layer of cotton (canvas), a layer of polyester filling/filling and an inner lining of cotton. The padding on the upper body has a diamond shape. The padding is horizontal at the waist and vertical at the hips and arms. The gambeson is closed with leather straps and metal buckles in the central front part. The sleeves are secured with loops and can be removed as desired. The high collar greatly increases the comfort of wearing armor or chainmail around the neck.
