A gambeson (also aketon, padded jack, pourpoint, or arming doublet) is a
padded defensive jacket, worn as armour separately, or combined with
mail or plate armour. Gambesons were produced with a sewing technique
called quilting that produced a padded cloth. They were usually
constructed of linen or wool; the stuffing varied, and could be, for
example, scrap cloth or horse hair. During the 14th century,
illustrations usually show buttons or laces on the front.
An
arming doublet (also called aketon) worn under armour, particularly
plate armour of fifteenth- and sixteenth-century Europe, contains arming
points for attaching plates. Fifteenth-century examples may include
mail goussets sewn into the elbows and armpits, to protect the wearer in
locations not covered by plate. German gothic armour arming doublets
were generally shorter than Italian white armour doublets, which could
extend to the upper thigh. In late fifteenth-century Italy, this also
became a civilian fashion. Men who were not knights wore arming
doublets, probably because the garment suggested status and chivalry.
