These jackets can be pre-ordered, but please expect loooong delivery times of several months. We no longer have these jackets in stock. Reason: people who came to the store, even if specifically for this jacket, almost always ended up buying a SPES jacket after trying it on :).
\nOrder = collect.<\/p>\n
The ARCEM 800N HEMA Jacket is an upgraded version of the well known Black Armoury V1 Jacket.<\/strong><\/p>\n Upgrades to Version 2 include:<\/strong><\/p>\n Retained features:<\/strong><\/p>\n The ARCEM range of jackets focuses on two things –\u00a0maximum mobility<\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0maximum throat and neck protection<\/b>.<\/p>\n The mobility is achieved through precise contoured stitching of the shoulders and back, allowing the padded jacket to move freely with the wearer. This mobility is accentuated by close-fitting forearms, which, with the collar system, \u201ctie\u201d the jacket to the wearer at three points (forearms and neck) with the rest of the jacket slightly \u201cfloating\u201d around the body. This solution – while inspired by examples of fit and assembly found in XIVth century pourpoints – is still unique in contemporary HEMA clothing.<\/p>\n Our most unique contribution (now copied but never matched) is the collar, which is designed to close\u00a0over<\/b>\u00a0the mask bib.<\/p>\n We had three criteria in designing the collar :<\/p>\n Because it is worn outside the mask gives double protection from thrusts to the front – collar plus mask bib.<\/p>\n More uniquely, and not present on competing over-bib collars, it provides protection of the neck, all around, from strikes.<\/p>\n The collar has three blade catchers (front and both sides) that extend to behind the ears. It is designed so that the blade passage inside the jacket at the neck must strike the mask or be moving away from the body.<\/p>\n The collar can be opened to let off heat and raise the mask. With just a little practise, it is a simple matter to re-close the collar, even with heavy combat gloves.<\/p>\n See picture<\/p>\n See details.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":38457,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[472],"product_tag":[3896,5101,2826,5102],"class_list":["post-38481","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-torso-en","product_tag-fencing-jacket-en","product_tag-hema-jacket-en","product_tag-protection-en-2","product_tag-schermjas-en","pa_color-41-zwart-en-2","pa_color-other-color","pa_size2-f2-custom-en","pa_size2-ad-l-en","pa_size2-da-m-en","pa_size2-20-s-en","pa_size2-4c-xl-en","pa_size2-c1-xs-en","first","outofstock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-variable"],"yoast_head":"\n\n
