Product description
In the 14th century, the gambeson evolved alongside the clothing fashion of the time. The pourpoint was originally developed as a variant of the gambeson but was later also worn in an unpadded version as everyday clothing.
The gambeson, or arming pourpoint, features padding that protects the body from chainmail and plate elements of armour. The garment marked a major shift in European fashion, as it emphasised the shape of the body rather than the broad, flowing robes that had been popular during the High Middle Ages.
The gambeson is based on originals from the late 14th to early 15th century. Crafted in the mi parti style and adorned with buttons known as zuparelli or de facto buttons, garments of this type are frequently depicted in 15th-century Italian paintings. The shape of the gambeson permits it to extend beneath plate armour whilst providing optimal freedom of movement.
