Product information "MM - woolen pourpoint "Hannover""
Late-medieval woolen pourpoint from 14th and 15th century.
Our gambeson is characterized by low weight, high mobility, and historical
look. It’s proper for both fighters and civilians, as an under garment.
„Hannover” woolen pourpoint is a civil version of our linen
gambeson. In the past, arming garments often worked as civil
medieval clothing. Woolen pourpoint is one of examples –
it is based on garments worn by soldiers. Just like linen version, this quilted doublet shapes a
body and brings out a chest.
"Hannover" woolen pourpoint has two types of
quilting. Upper part (chest, back, shoulder) has quilting in rhomb shape. Lower
part and forearms of this arming doublet has horizontal
quilting.
Tin buttons in this medieval aketon can be changed on overcast
stitchings or point bindings. It has a low stand-up collar around neck.
Unlike most of our gambesons, wool is the outer layer, while
linen inner layer. What also makes it special, is the filling.
To make this arming aketon lighter and more mobile, we used a
woolen felt as filling. There are two levels of thickness:
- thicker on chest ,
- thinner on the rest of pourpoint
NOTE! Pourpoint is available in 6 sizes.
What makes our "Hannover" woolen pourpoint special?
Such pourpoint,
together with proper armor, gives an amortization on good level. On this quilted
doublet we have used a new cut-out of sleeve with so called „inverted
elbow”. That’s why our aketon doesn’t go up and doesn’t
hinder the movement during usage.
Mobility and low weight make "Hannover" woolen pourpoint perfectly
work as a gambeson in historical reenactment and knight
fighting.
Woolen felt and its role in "Hannover" quilted doublet
Woolen filling in a pourpoint has a lot of
advantages. It makes an arming clothing very light, closer to
historical gambesons. Wool
has a lot of important features. It can absorb a lot of water and remain
relatively dry, but it’s also a perfect isolator.
Almost all of used fabrics and fillings are natural, safe for environment, and
biodegradable and an ecological renewable raw material.
