The acketon is based on 15th century originals that can be seen in various illuminated medieval manuscripts. Well-suited to late medieval and Renaissance re-enactment, as well as LARP and Cosplay. The acketon covers the body to the hips. It is exceptionally practical in use, thanks to the many laces on the sleeves and at the bottom, which are intended for attaching plate armour, jackchains and the like. The sleeves are removable and may be fastened with the cotton laces. A fine detail: all cotton laces attached to this gambeson feature a historically correct brass lace end.
This gambeson is constructed from three layers of fluffed cotton canvas with a soft cotton inner lining and a wool mix exterior, and has been designed for use during re-enactment and LARP battles. It features a raised collar for extra protection at the neck. At the front, it may be tied with cotton laces. The acketon is particularly comfortable and permits excellent freedom of movement.
