4 Gambeson
A stuffed and quilted body garment worn under armour, but also without it, being considered a sufficient protection from the weapons of the 13th and 14th centuries. It is considered a similar " coat of defence " to the aketon. In 1235 the gambeson is also called a pourpoint in the Statutes of Frejus, from the quilting and stitching of it.
