All buttons are material and heavy stitched to be extra durable. Current stock has the red and black colour reversed.

Featuring Zuparello buttons that can squash flat under armour.A jupon (or fighting cotte) is a fourteenth to fifteenth-century tight-fitting padded garment worn over armor, often displaying family colours or a coat-of-arms.

quality gambeson for very reasonable price initially i ordered a size L ,however being 6ft2 105 kg ,that wasn't large enough,MFC straight off didn't bat an eyelid when i asked to exchange it for a larger,they were only too happy to oblige,and kept the dialogue going thru both email and sms ( you just don't find customer liaison like this any more folks!) I eventually passed the gambeson to my son who was totally happy with it ,and purchased the XL ,fit is amazing ,room where it needs for movement ,and nicely tailored .a very handsome piece of garb indeed , I recommend the XL sizing for larger mammals like myself.totally happy customer ,I will be back.

Exquisite Looks and feels fantastic. Made very well.
Can move quite easily wearing it on the battle field. Great for light armour. I Would recommend this Gambeson for shore

What's red and black all over? Light, figure fitting, easy too go through drills with it on.
Though It's fine for light sparring, its true value lay in the fact that it can be modified to give a perfect fit.
I, for one, am going to still some arming points on this baby :D

Effective and Dazzling Recently purchased this gambeson from MFC at the Abbey Medieval Tournament. Very comfortable even when first worn. Colours are fantastic. I would recommend this garment highly.
