Quilted Garment Body 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.
Measure the natural waist around the narrowest part of the torso, keeping the tape level and without pulling it tight. Take this measurement over the same intended base layer.
Choose the larger size if chest and waist fall in different rows.
Body size chart
Reading this chart: The rows below describe the wearer, measured over the intended layers. They are not finished garment dimensions. For exact garment length and other finished dimensions, contact us before ordering.

This is a wearer chart; finished chest, sleeve and hem dimensions vary by garment. For longer Greywatch and Blackmere styles, also record the fullest hip over your underlayer and the intended high-shoulder-to-hem length.
For Harthmere and Ebonford, check where the short or elbow sleeve should end. For Moorfield, check armhole and side-lacing coverage over the shirt you will wear. For Kestrel, measure shoulder-to-wrist length with the elbow slightly bent and consider fit with the detachable sleeves attached.
If you need exact finished chest, waist, sleeve or length measurements, contact us before ordering. These garments are costume clothing with no certified protective rating.
Measurements are given in centimeters and inches. The first unit shown is the reference; the second is rounded. Use one unit consistently.
Harthmere is a short-sleeve gambeson with vertical quilting and a collarless neckline. Four pairs of fabric ties close the front over an inner overlap panel, while the straight body falls below the hip.

Style and inspiration
Medieval-inspired short-sleeve quilted gambeson for costume use.
Materials and construction
Cotton canvas shell with a woven cotton lining and low-loft cotton batting beneath the vertical quilting.
Size and fit
Available sizes: XS–3XL.
Use the Size Guide to choose by chest and waist over your intended layers. The chart lists body measurements, rather than the dimensions of the finished garment. For the finished chest, shoulder width, sleeve length where applicable and shoulder-to-hem length, you can contact us.
Available in XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL and 3XL. Measure your chest and waist over the intended base layer and compare them with the on-page size guide. If your measurements fall in different size ranges, choose the size that accommodates the larger measurement.
How to wear it
Wear over a shirt or tunic for a fair or LARP costume. The short sleeves leave the base layer visible at the arms, and the low neckline works with a separate collar or hood.
This is costume clothing, not certified protective equipment, and has no tested impact rating. Follow the safety requirements of your activity or event.
What is included
One short-sleeve gambeson. The shirt, hood, belt and other styling accessories are not included.
Care
Air thoroughly after wear and spot clean gently. Follow the garment care label for a full clean. Avoid wringing or tumble drying, and let the quilted layers dry completely before storing.
