SPES Medieval Market

The Italian Gambeson is one of the longest garments in our range, reaching all the way down to the knees. Its design is inspired by 14th-century sources from Northern Italy, combining historical accuracy with practical functionality for reenactment and medieval combat.

This padded tunic is designed to be pulled over the head and fastened at the left side of the neck with two pewter buttons. Both the outer shell and the lining are made of natural linen, ensuring breathability and comfort during use.

The body of the gambeson features several distinct quilting patterns:
▪️zigzag stitching on the torso (front and back)
▪️horizontal quilting on the collar, upper sleeves, and lower hem
▪️vertical quilting on the lower sleeves (from elbow down)

The lower part of the garment is additionally decorated with three horizontal contrasting bands and decorative cut-out edging, giving it a distinctive medieval silhouette.

A custom set styled with the Renaissance shirt we showed you recently.

This time: a bold red wool mask (very Zorro energy) and a matching hood with cutwork details and a short liripipe.

Not quite a pirate, not quite an executioner… but undeniably striking.⚡️
