    Note: This chart is meant as a general reference – and gives the measurements with the pourpoint laced to meet in the middle. Because this garment is laced up it has allot of flexibility in how it fits. It won’t precisely lace up to meet in the middle on most people (unless you happen to be that exact size) but that is not necessary in order to fit correctly or look good. Please note that if you are on the cusp between sizes that you generally want to choose a smaller size because the garment is meant to be worn laced very tightly in order to support the leg harness. In other words, it more desirable that there be a gap in front where it laces rather than have it be even a little loose. That way you can lace very tightly from your waist to your hips in order to keep the weight and pull of your leg harness exclusively on your lower body, which is how this garment is designed to be used. If your pourpoint is not laced very tightly around your waist some of the weight of your leg harness can be distributed up to the shoulders, which greatly increases fatigue. Because the armhole is large and the garment is sleeveless the chest measurement is not a factor in fit.

    Note: Please note, only some colors are available in the heavier weight linen we use in making this product. Also, with the difficulty of accurately representing colors on a variety of monitors, the color names are meant as descriptions along with the swatches. Please use both when deciding on what color to order. Also, despite how the colors may appear on your monitor the same color names in Wool, Silk and Linen are different and do not exactly coordinate.

     The development of plate armour required arming clothes to evolve into the foundation to which the armour attached. While the gambeson served this role for arm and body defenses, a closer fitting garment was required to support the leg harness. The exact form of such a garment in the 14th century is unclear but by the early 15th century we have documentation for the ‘pourpoint’, a garment worn over a linen shirt and under the gambeson. The form of this garment is like that of a sleeveless cotehardie, a garment whose own development coincided with the adoption of plate leg harness. The large armhole follows the lines of the period with the exaggerated lines of the ‘grande assiette sleeve’. Therefore, while we can not guarantee this is the exact historical solution for earlier portrayals, we offer it as a reasonable solution based a slightly later period. Our pourpoint is made of heavyweight, 7.5 oz linen and has a medium weight cotton canvas lining. In addition the front, bottom quarter is lightly padded over the hip, providing an extra layer of protection in an area often left unprotected in many styles of harness. Much like a later cotehardie, our pourpoint is meant to be worn very fitted and tightly-laced, so as to support your leg harness at the hip rather than having the stress on your shoulders. We have included two sets of arming points to be used to attach leg harness. This garment also makes a nice accessory worn over shirt, braies and chauses when not on the field. We recommend dry cleaning this item in order to extend its life to a maximum. Linen is a very strong fiber but it is also very brittle. Machine washing and drying will break down the fibers over time.  The front lace is available in natural or black.  The arming points are available in natural with plastic tips or a variety of colors with metal tips.  The colored laces and metal tipped laces are available at an additional charge.

    “The Pourpoint is the answer for supporting Leg Harness.I have the Revival pourpoint.. and I can say without reservation that it is the best, most comfortable,most stable arrangment for holding up leg harness I have ever used, and I have used them all. In 22 years of armoured combat I have never had a harness more comfortable and high performing than I do now.. all due to the Revival Arming Pourpoint.

    The key is to have the pourpoint.. **very** tight, the sides of the garment opening should **just** meet when snugged very tight on the hips.. and if you are conventionaly shaped this will mean that the garment *won’t* meet over the chest. This is the proper fit IMO, ( this has the added benefit of girdling in your “extra padding” and providing a more svelte profile )

    Also you must reinforce the points with leather or fabric patches to ensure the points don’t tear out in vigorous combat.

    The point placment is perfect for me.. and if you are wearing the proper size they should be ok for most. There must be one point over the rotation point of the side of the hip.. right at the insertion of the hip joint. The other point should be at the center point of the leg harness.

    I strongly endorse this product.

    Revival clothing has the answer.”

    Note: This chart is meant as a general reference – while the actual sizes are larger than regular sizes this is because we discovered during our market research that due to the thickness of our gambeson most people preferred a somewhat larger size than they would normally choose in the case of civilian clothing. Please note that if you are on the cusp between sizes that general fit preferences and size of your frame should determine which size you choose. For a looser fit and/or a heavier frame order the larger size. If you prefer a more tailored fit or are of slimmer build order the smaller size. This style is designed to be looser in the chest and more fitted in the waist and hips as were the historical models.

    Our linen gambeson is based on a combination of 14th century sources, both extant garments and contemporary artwork. We’ve retained the most important aspects of the historical patterns, particularly the exaggerated armhole, also called ‘le grande assiette sleeve’, which permits complete freedom of arm movement. Made with an outer layer of heavy, 7.5 oz linen this gambeson has a lighter feel and is not a thick as our heavy cotton gambeson. Its closely cut arms make it well suited for use with fitted arm harness. Taking inspiration from period garment quilting designs, it is padded with three layers of 100% cotton batting and has a medium weight cotton canvas lining for a combination of protection and breathability. We have added a collar for additional comfort. Metal shank buttons are used similar to those used in period. We recommend dry cleaning this item in order to extend its life to a maximum. Linen is a very strong fiber but it is also very brittle. Machine washing and especailly drying will break down the fibers over time. If you do choose to wash your gambeson – only do so in cold water and hang to dry – never machine dry as that is the most destructive part of modern washing.

    A note about sharing – PLEASE DON’T SHARE THESE FILES, copy the pattern or use it to produce items for sale. We are a small company, hoping to share our experience and ideas with you, in order to help you make beautiful, authentic, well-fitting medieval clothing. This pattern is intended for personal use by a single customer and we have priced it accordingly. Abuse of the user agreement will negatively affect our ability to continue to provide this service.

So please, honor our single user policy and help us continue to serve the greater re-enactment community.

    Size Chart

    If you already own one of our gambesons and please note, the sizing on the patterns is different than our ready made gambeson. This is a consequence of digitizing the pattern so that we could make it available to you.

    Note: Sizing on our 14th century gambeson is judged by waist size because the large grande assiette armhole also adds to the ease of fit through widest part of the chest. It is meant to fit snugly around waist  and torso with a bit of ease for ease of movement though shuolders an upper back.

    Note: Please note, with the difficulty of accurately representing colors on a variety of monitors, the color names are meant as descriptions along with the swatches. Please use both when deciding on what color to order. Also, despite how the colors may appear on your monitor the same color names in Wool, Silk and Linen are different and do not exactly coordinate.

    Men’s Joined Hose:
    As the cotehardie grew increasingly shorter and tighter, slowly evolving into the doublet, more of the braies and chausses were revealed. The end result was that the chausses grew to cover the cotte’s retreat, culminating in fully joined hose. This new garment followed the fashion for fitted garments, and pointed directly to the doublet. This, of course, added its own interesting challenges for performing the necessaries, and thus the 15th century saw the introduction of another new element in men’s fashion – the codpiece.

    Woolen Hose:
    Wool was the preferred fabric for these hose, or hosen, and was used in different weights and weaves, to accommodate the different seasons. We have replicated our hose in a robust, mid-weight, wool knit that you should find comfortable in most weather. The material is heavy and fitted enough to allow the hose to remain up without pointing, when you remove the doublet on hot days. In keeping with the 15th century aesthetic of smooth, shapely limbs, you will find that the hose accentuate the contours of the leg, while giving a flowing, athletic look. Whether you are built like a powerlifter or a distance runner, you will be surprised at how these hose will emphasize all of the right things, and turn more than a few ladies’ heads admiringly. (And maybe a few disapproving Churchmen’s heads as well, but really, isn’t all that feminine attention worth a little scandal?)

    Cotton Hose:
    While the elasticity, durability and wide variety of textures and weights made wool the fabric of choice for period hose, we realize that many modern customers are extremely temperature sensitive or have wool allergies. For our re-enactor or theatre customers for whom comfort or ease of care outweighs concerns of authenticity, we are also offering our joined hose in knit cotton. The cotton closely replicates the fit of the wool hose, but is much lighter-weight, and is available in a variety of colors.

    Wool or Cotton: Which Should I Chose?
    If you can’t decide which fabric will better fit your needs, are a few guidelines. If your first concern is authenticity, there is no choice at all; you need the woolen hose! Likewise, if you have problems wearing wool, then you can sacrifice a little authenticity and chose from our cotton selections, which come in a variety of stand out colors and are as comfortable and lightweight as our simple hose.

    Like any martial art, the art of the sword brings with it a host of bumps and bruises. Made from the same high-quality leather and stitch construction as our Padded Swordplay Gloves, these gloves have added, rigid knuckle plates on hand and thumb made of Carbon Kevlar, dense foam along the fingers and thumb, as well as all around the ‘gauntlet’ part of the glove for added wrist protection. The foam in these gloves is denser and more rigid providing extra protection, but patterned in such way as to provide coverage along your fingers, back of hand, knuckles and wrist while not restricting mobility. Our Rigid Plate HEMA Gloves are designed to help protect against light blows, works well as hand padding inside a buckler and while sparring with light weapons.  Designed specifically for practitioners of the Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA) and Western Martial Arts (WMA) communities.

    The interest in Medieval and Renaissance HEMA(Historical European Martial Arts) has grown dramatically over the last couple of decades. Dozens of manuscripts and printed books survive from the period 1300-1600, detailing the historical use of a wide variety of weapons, wielded in and out of armour, on foot and on horseback.

    Inspired by the work of Joachim Meyer(ca. 1537 – 1571) and designed to compliment our Unpadded HEMA jacket, Padded HEMA jacket and Renaissance Fencing Doublet, our Meyer Fencing Pants are constructed for ease of movement and distinct historical style to represent you while fencing and training. Our design includes double stitched seams for strength on the under layer, a crotch gusset to allow more extreme motions, like the lunge and laced closure at the waist and cuff for a custom fit. Available in jewel tones and custom colors. Please note, custom orders are not eligible for return or exchange. For a simpler, sleeker version see our Fencing Knickers and 3/4 Athletic Pants. We also have over-the-knee socks in rainbow of colors to wear with these!

    • This mask is measured according to the circumference of the area, please refer to the size chart below before ordering

    How to measure for size:

    Using a soft tape measure or string measure the circumference of your head, and make sure to keep it sung or else you’ll wind up with a mask that’s too large. Keep in mind, a correctly fitting mask will feel quite snug in the beginning. It is crucial that in order to protect you properly he mask fit snugly so that it does not move on your head with impact. If you have particularly thick hair you may want to go up a size to allow for comfort. As you wear it, the fabric cradle that holds the forehead and chin will as it mold to your head shape. In addition, the metal frame. fabric covered flap that extends from the top of the mask can be bent in different place to better fit your head. PLEASE NOTE: due to the nature of masks fitting so close to the face they are not eligible for exchange or return.
