An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

An arming doublet (also called aketon) worn under armour, particularly plate armour of fifteenth- and sixteenth-century Europe contains arming points for attaching plates and fifteenth century examples may include 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.

  • A gambeson is a part of armour in the form of a padded jacket. It is used either discretely as a complete armour or under a plate or mail armour to facilitate it's wearing and prevent chafing. The design of these two types of gambeson is different, the former were thicker and used more resilient materials, like leather. The gambeson was very insulatory and thus uncomfortable, but its protection was vital for the soldier.
