Dastan Gambeson

Farhad wiped the blood from his shamshir. 
"Another lot of those damned Northern fools, Darab my friend" he sighed. "Perhaps they do not understand the ferocity of us Hashishin, and how we must protect it from them at all costs."
Darab stretched his Dervish Spear across his shoulders to work the stiffness from his shoulders, looking grim at the senselessness of the blood they had all just spilt upon the desert sands.
"They will never have it, Farhad. They will never enter the Juice Vault."

STYLE AND FUNCTION COMBINED

Epic Armoury's Gambeson Dastan is a padded long-sleeve coat covering the torso from neck, down over the hips and upper thighs both on the front and back. It can be worn on its own or serve as essential padding under mail or armour. The gambeson is donned like a jacket and closed on the front with straps, allowing the wearer to customize the tightness of the fit. The shoulders are easily detachable by untying its cotton cords on the shoulders and sleeves, each cord secured through long-lasting brass eyelets. The gambeson design is created with a two-colour design in mind, giving a splash of colour to it.

Thick enough to serve as its own armour, this sturdy gambeson is constructed with heavy layers of fluffed cotton canvas sandwiched between dyed wool on the outside and softer cotton lining on the inside. All these layers are stitched together in vertical lines, keeping the padding in place.

HISTORY

• Quilted armours have been around since at least 400 BCE
• Used as padding under chainmail or plate armour
• Could stop heavy arrows and mace and axe impacts with the addition of overlaying chainmail

"Once again, they are walking toward the city in their shining suits of armor under the desert’s blistering sun. Once again they want to get a hold of “it” but we won’t let them. We were able to push them back twice already so there is no reason why we won’t be able to do it again. We still have our unique, centuries-old, fighting style which relies on swift foot style, precise striking, and using the terrain to our advantage. We also have a new sword that was commissioned prior to this war to fit our warriors: A long, sharp, single-edged blade with a backbone reminiscent of the “desert sharks” and providing a great intimidation factor when facing the enemy …

"Once again I pray the gods to fight by our side and prevent the invaders from getting a hold of our sacred artifact.”

The torso armour of Mytholon's Lambert series features a plain and functional design. It consists of a breast plate and a back plate that are connected by adjustable shoulder straps. The straps on both sides may also be used to adjust the size. The backplate comprises two parts and has a movable lower segment. This serves to considerably increase wearing comfort and mobility.
Please note that the indentations are where the wearer's shoulder blades should be, and are not intended for protection of a female chest. Wearing it backwards in this way will be, at best, incredibly uncomfortable.

Unlike the other parts of the Lambert series, the torso armour is not ornamented in any way, meaning it can also be universally combined with other armour series and outfits.

We recommend wearing a gambeson jacket or padded collar underneath the torso armour to increase wearing comfort and avoid bruises and abrasions.
