Light Gambeson Size Guide
Measure around the fullest part of your chest with the tape level, over the shirt or other layers you intend to wear underneath. Keep the tape comfortably snug and record the measurement without adding extra inches or centimeters.
Choose by layered body chest. This chart is for the Aldren articulated light gambeson. The finished chest, waist and shoulder measurements describe the garment rather than the wearer.
Body and finished measurements
Reading this chart: Choose the size using the body-measurement column. Finished measurements describe the item itself and help you compare it with something you already wear. Do not use a finished measurement as your body size.
On a small screen, scroll the chart sideways to see all columns.

|---|---|---|---|---|

If your measurement lies between rows or on a shared boundary, choose the next larger size. If it falls outside the chart, contact us before ordering.
Compare finished chest and waist with a similar garment fastened and laid flat; double its flat chest or waist width to obtain circumference. Shoulder width is measured seam to seam across the back.
Also measure your natural waist over the intended base layer. Check desired body length from the high shoulder point to the hem and sleeve length from shoulder point to wrist with the elbow slightly bent. If you need exact finished sleeve or body length, contact us before ordering.

How to wear it
Layer over a shirt or tunic and adjust the three front straps without pulling the quilted panels out of shape.
