Arming Wear by Medieval Collectibles

Medieval Collectibles has a  large variety of functional arming wear. We have padded Gambesons and Arming Caps which provide a more comfortable fit and reduce pinching from the armor when you are moving. Our Gambesons are stylish, comfortable and made of quality materials. The Gambeson is worn underneath chain mail and armour and normally both helps to protect the body from the impact of weapons and provides some degree of comfort to the wearer. Our Gambeson Set, made from a cotton shell with a captive fiber fill, is designed to make the wearing of mail reasonably comfortable while providing freedom of movement. The Gambeson set includes a matching Arming Cap, essential to the wearing of a chain mail coif. Arming caps are also used to provide padding when wearing a medieval helmet.

Medieval Arming Caps

We have padded arming caps for wearing under your helmet or chainmail coif. Medieval Arming caps give added comfort and sometimes help by making the helmet fit better. Our arming caps come in different sizes and colors.  Medieval Arming caps can also be use for when it is cold outside to keep your head and ears warm. Our Medieval arming caps are quilted and re-enforced to provide durability and strength for continued use.

Medieval Gambesons

If you are wearing steel armor a gambeson or padded under armour is a necessity for you. These Medieval gambesons will help eliminate being pinched by the steel armor every time you move. Medieval Gambesons are very popular for wearing under leather armor and chainmail armour for added comfort. Medieval gambesons come in a variety of colors that range from black, brown and white.  Our functional gambesons come in sizes from small to extra large.
