Historical looking jacket with linen exterior, 800N.

 

Description

FG HISTORICAL 800N, just like the regular 350N, Light or PRO version, is based on the project which came to existence years ago for Fechtschule Gdańsk. The shape of this HEMA gambeson was inspired by the 15th century gambesons from medieval treatises, especially Fiore de’i Liberi or Gladiatoria z 1440 r.

The aim of this project is to complete the market and fulfill the expectations of users fascinated by tradition and history.

This HEMA gambeson was designed for HEMAists, as well as for SCA, historical reenactment, Harnischfechten or HMB enthusiasts. If you want to add a strong medieval accent in your training – this gambeson is for you!

Still, it’s worth remembering to add some extra cushioning to it for the most demanding duels. The FG Historical Gambeson 800N model is fastened with 6 leather laces. Jacket reaches the mid-thigh area and it has side slits. The collar is also fastened with a lace on the side.

The outer layer of the jacket is 100% linen. What’s unique in this project is its inside. Between the linen layers this model has hidden panels which provide 800N puncture resistance. These are separated by stitches which slightly changes the functionality of this gambeson in comparison with standard HEMA jackets. What is more, it has a layer of recycled felt.

Like other versions of this HEMA gambeson, FG HISTORICAL is cut off at the body so that its lower part rests on the hips. The sleeves (sewn in deeply) consist of 2 elements and have gussets under the armpits. Natural fabrics make the stitchings more visible, emphasizing the male silhouette stronger than the standard version. 

2,4 – 3,5 kg

This is one of the longest jackets in the SPES offer. It narrows toward the waist which makes it fit the body shape and emphasizes the male silhouette.

NOTE from HEMAworld:
– this jacket does NOT have a blade catcher
– the jacket is thin where the panels meet, and especially the inserts under the armpits are thin. In these places the jacket is therefore not 800N
