Late-medieval pourpoint based on French iconography from 14th and 15th century. Our gambeson is characterized by low weight, hight mobility, and historical look.
This gambeson is inspired by model from Très Belles Heures de Notre-Dame and it was designed by us for the most demanding cutomers. Upper part has vertical stitchings (chest, back, shoulders). From the waist down and on the forearms, it has horizontal stitchings. This quilted aketon in standard version is buttoned up with tin buttons on torso and forearms. It also has a low stand-up collar.
- thicker on chest (Y7b),
- thinner on rest of the gambeson (Y7a).
More information about thickness you can find here.
The shape of our pourpoint, which is based on Très Belles Heures de Notre-Dame, provides high mobility. On this arming aketon, we have used a new cut-out of the sleeve with so called "inverted elbow". That is why this quilted pourpoint does not go up and does not hinder the movement during usage. Mobility and low weight make "Notre-Dame" pourpoint work perfectly as a gambeson in historical, civil reenactment and knight fighting.
Tin buttons in this arming aketon can be changed to overcast stitchings or point bindings.
The pourpoint is available in 6 sizes, from XS to XXL, or in custom size (with a small charge):

Which filling of a pourpoint is the best?
Woolen filling in a pourpoint has a lot of advantages. It makes a piece of arming clothing very light, closer to historicaly appropriate gambesons. Wool has a lot of important features:
- it can absorb a lot of water and remain relatively dry,

All of the used fabrics and fillings are natural and safe for the environment.
