Lightweight Gambeson
The gambeson was developed as padding for armour and extra protection from sword thrusts, but it could also be worn without armour as a heavyweight, everyday tunic. Outer garb like this comfortable, black quilted gambeson made of 100% cotton was very popular from the early Middle Ages until the Renaissance.
