The Sweaty Gambeson

Opening soon. The forge is hot, the sweat is honest, and the gate-keeper wants a word (read: password).

Are you the keep-keeper?

Know thy measurements

The Sizing Scroll

Garments run true to a modern athletic fit. Measure a shirt you already love and match it below. Between sizes? Size up — the overhead guard demands shoulder room.

Size	Chest	Length	Rank
S	34–36"	27–29"	Squire
M	38–40"	30–32"	Man-at-arms
L	42–44"	33–35"	Knight
XL	46–48"	36–38"	Champion
XXL	50–52"	39–41"	Siege engine

How to measure thy chest: wrap a tape under the arms, across the fullest part, keeping it level. Breathe normally. Do not flex for the tape — it has seen many warriors, and it is not impressed.

Ware	Size	Backing
Standard patch	3"	Iron-on / sew-on
Crest patch	4"	Iron-on / sew-on
Single sticker	3"	Weatherproof vinyl
Sticker sheet	8 × die-cut	Weatherproof vinyl

Patches survive the wash. They do not survive scrutiny from purists — that part is the point.
