Gambison

A gambison is a garment made from heavy, layered cloth. It can be worn either as padding under heavy armor, or on its own. The thickness of the material provides some cushioning, and also protects the wearer against cuts.

Being relatively cheap and easy to make compared to other armor, gambisons serve as standard armor for most militias. This, combined with its usage together with heavy armor, makes it a fairly common export ware, available in most cities.
