Velvet Gambeson “The King's Guard”
Limited edition knight's pourpoint
A King’s personal guard was every bit an extension of the King himself. Only the highest quality arms and armor were good enough for those who pledged their lives to his defense. In or out of armor, a King’s Guard was judged by the quality of his attire.
In this vein, ArmStreet developed the King’s Guard line of XIV century armour for the discerning fighter and reenactor. However, we could not stop with the exterior armor, only a gambeson “made for a King”, or his guard, would do to complete this armor kit. ArmStreet is proud to present our limited edition – King’s Guard Gambeson! This is the epitome of what a regal padded under armor garment should be. Made of our exclusive wine-red, patterned velvet, this gambeson will turn heads on the field and at Court. Up close, this gambeson has an amazingly rich and authentic look that is based on the style of pourpoint made famous by Charles de Blois. The gambeson even comes with authentic leather trim and handmade, velvet-cloth covered leather buttons. We have used only the highest quality of materials to create the one-of-a-kind arming garment and that we guarantee you will be proud to wear for many years to come.

How do I order the gambeson with custom color and arming points. I don’t see a tab for custom ordering?
Dear Ursen, we do not have custom option for this particualar gamebson, sorry.
are pants avalible to purchase that goes with the armor set? the maroon ones like the model is wearing for example
The model is wearing woolen chausses that can be purchased here. However, maroon color is not available anymore, unfortunately.
Is this suitable for combat? How would it be in HEMA?
Hi Vukodlak, this one is not suitable for HEMA because it is not puncture proof, unfortunately. However, we can offer you our canvas gambeson instead.
What are the arming points on a Gambeson?
Laces sewn on a gambeson which are used to attach the armor pieces.
Do you make armor sizes for those over the hill knights of much greater girth who sit by the roasting pits and meade barrels talking of past glories?
Possibly yes, please specify which armor you'd like to order and email us your measurements (full height, chest, waist, hips) at contact@armstreet.com.
Can this Gambeson be made of External layer: thick and durable cotton and if so what would be the cost ?
Can be made of cotton, you'll get $50 off. Please email us at contact@armstreet.com to get the discount.
hello, I'm intereste to Knight's Gambeson Pourpoint “The King's Guard” possible have one in different color? what do u use for padding it in? how can I send to u money wich metod do u prefare? is possible by banck accoun? thanks simone
Can be made to order in blue, red (embossed), bottle green, burgundy color. Simply switch to the Custom size tab in the description and tick the preferred color, then fill in your measurements in the order form and click Checkout.
Padding is made of cotton-based natural batting.
We mostly use PayPal; bank transfer is fine too, simply email us at contact@armstreet.com.
Is this pourpoint available in larger size ?
Can be made to order in size L or XL, please check our size chart.
Does this Pourpoint have points for attaching the armour? And if not how does one attach the Kings Guard Armour?
All our gambesons come without the arming points (supposed that it's more convenient to sew on the laces by yourself, when you've already tried wearing on the armour over your gambeson). We can add the arming points for $5-15 extra (depending on how many points you need), simply add a comment to your order.
