Product description
In the 14th century, the gambeson evolved alongside the clothing fashions of the time. Originally developed as a variant of the gambeson, the pourpoint was later worn in an unpadded version as everyday clothing.
This gambeson, or arming pourpoint, features padding that protects the body from chainmail and plate armor. It marked a major shift in European fashion, emphasizing the shape of the body rather than the broad, flowing robes popular during the High Middle Ages.
Based on originals from the late 14th to early 15th century, this gambeson is made in the mi parti style and adorned with buttons known as zuparelli or de facto buttons. Garments of this type appear frequently in 15th-century Italian paintings. Its shape allows it to extend beneath plate armor while providing optimal freedom of movement.
