Sometimes, when out questing, all that heavy steel plating can be a bit cumbersome and uncomfortable. In times like these, the best place to be is within the safe padding of an article of clothing like the Diana Gambeson. This cotton overcoat has been padded with wool felt, making it both warm and thick enough to serve as a fair piece of protective wear. It closes in the front via six lacings, and its sides feature slits for ease of movement. Additionally, the cuffs of the gambesons sleeves can be closed with lacing or left open, depending on the wearers preference. The Diana Gambeson comes in burgundy, brown, natural, and black, so whether you fancy yourself an elvish warrior, a knight, or an adventuring woman of the woods, this piece of clothing can accommodate your needs.

    This is a hefty article. It’s easier to deal with when you remember it’s padded armor. Cumbersome (as one would expect padded armor to be). For petite people like me, the proportions are a little off. I will probably end up modifying this to fit better (though I’m not looking forward to trying to run it through my sewing machine or doing it by hand). It would probably do for a winter coat – don’t wear it in warm weather if you can help it! I don’t expect the leather ties to last too long. Buckles and straps would be better.

    In stark contrast to the prior review, and as a fencer, this happens to be a piece of armor that I love. Fits me well and it fulfills its purpose entirely. It’s not “hefty” and is what you’d expect the weight to be for literal armor(~5lbs). I’d never use this specifically as a winter coat as that would be doing a disservice to whomever made the piece and secondly it isn’t the purpose of the garment. The freedom of movement is wonderful and after breaking it in should feel like a second skin. The leather ties can be removed and replaced with a different cord if you so chose on your own time.
    Love it!

    Thick and well padded. Very warm. Easy to adjust. Looks great

    Very well made item. I agree with one user about the ties probably not lasting, but as another user said you can easily replace them on your own with something stronger. My only complaint, is the garment is a bit stiff for me but optimistic this will resolve itself with use.

    Scratchy and stiff to start but I turned it inside out and let it tumble around without heat for a few hours and that helped a bit, wearing it helped much more. Leather cords feel brittle and I’m going to replace them, it’s a simple DIY project.
    6’2″ 165# Female: shoulders 18″, Bust 38″, Waist 33″, Hips 42″, got an X-Large for my shoulders specifically as they tend to be my problem area. A bit roomy there but I think a L would have been tight so I’m glad I sized up.
