Hello all, I am so sorry for the incredibly late upload, but after the year we’ve all had, I’m sure you understand that life gets away from us. I finished this video about six months ago, by then the file was corrupted and I went to uni. After a nice Christmas break I’ve managed to salvage this video, so I hope you all enjoy regardless! Thanks for bearing with me.
Excellent work, looks better than my first attempt 😁 To my knowledge (but i could be wrong) Multiple layers quilted together is called a gambison A garment with tubes stuffed with loose fiber is an aketon A padded garment worn over the plate armour (3:20) is called a Jupon
Your comedic, poetic commentary is great, as is the amount of work you went through to make this. Once this project is over, you will be well deserving of the title "Knight".
Nice video! Your hard word deserves at least a like! I´m not very good at sewing, so I can`t teach about that, but one thing you can do next time (assuming there will be one) is compact the intern padding by compressing it and sewing repeatedly. This will make the aketon tougher. Using non-washed linen to sew it is also an advantage because after beeing washed several times linen decreases in size almost 3 times which will make everything more attached, a bit like a carpet. I hope you can find my tips useful.
Great work, I have quilted a few garments before and know that it is a mission and a half, thanks for the shout out.. Keep up the great work, looking forward to seeing more.
Fantastic job! I'm not sure of the historicity, but I remember my Gran would measure people with a length of string (I think she called it a Tailor's Friend?), which she tied knots in to transfer measurements. I think a similar technique might plausibly have been used, which would help avoid issues like the uneven arms here. Sadly she's not around anymore so I can't ask her for more details. Looking forwards to more content.
I shed a tear when you started cutting into a mail with that knife. But nice job lad! I am currently gathering resources for a similar project but for early 15th century. It's a pity that you stopped this series.
Thank you for this amazing video! i am planning to make an Aketon myself (am in the process of collecting the needed items) and now i am not feeling half as lost anymore!^^
Just as I sat back and got comfortable to watch on, I realized this is the last video :( Well, as of now at least. I thought this was a complete guide, walkthrough, thing xD Im so glad I found your channel btw. I came to see how you did your braies, since I still cant quite figure out how does one stich those up (too bad there were cuts in that video, no pun intended), but stayed and will be eagerly wait for the rest :D
OMG, what a labour of love! I recently just quilted and sewed just a lendenier by hand. I admit, after that I really had enough of making channels and stuffing them for quite some time...particularly as I used wool yarn I had laying around (unraveling, turning it back into fluff...countless times). And that all for such a small garment...cannot even fathom how that must be for basically a whole coat. Respect!
Well done muscling through! Seems like the kind of underestimated project that helps you grow as a person or scars you for life or something. I have made these on machine, an old straight stitch machine, and had a lot of trouble keeping the layers from moving because I didn't have a walking foot. The violence of the needle getting through the layers tended to make it all bounce off the table. I think for hand sewing, using quilting frames is quite popular, and that's what I'll try next time to manage the layers while sewing.
Looking good 👍 just wonder if you plan to become a Knight with a noble steed one day? Because I think you should plan for that possibility considering the amount ov labor and love involved sewing 😉 Have splitt in the back and it should be OK ☺️
fashion in the age of the Black Prince has a good comparison between the doublet and the Aketon the padding in the aketon has 3 pounds of cotton wool and the doublet has 1/8th of a pound of cotton wool but the other material listed is almost the same
I wonder if this still fits you? I assume with something that takes so long to make and also is so close fitting that there must have been a way to exchange garments or modify them when your body changes.

fashion in the age of the black prince
I like that this is both a tale of your ascent to knighthood and you descent into madness.
Excellent work, looks better than my first attempt 😁
To my knowledge (but i could be wrong)
Multiple layers quilted together is called a gambison
A garment with tubes stuffed with loose fiber is an aketon
A padded garment worn over the plate armour (3:20) is called a Jupon
I really hope you finish your Series I would love to see how to make a full knight suit.
absolute trooper
Your comedic, poetic commentary is great, as is the amount of work you went through to make this. Once this project is over, you will be well deserving of the title "Knight".
Amazing Hugo I am very much inspired.

Keep up the great work, looking forward to seeing more.
Please keep going and good luck . Literally one of the best construction videos
I e seen
Oh yes... adding extra space when you are quilting stuff is very... very important...
Cries at way too small helmet liner
Fantastic job!

Looking forwards to more content.
As far as I know, that is exactly what medieval tailors did.
Hell of a job!
👏 Wow beautiful! Congratulations on your achievement!
ayyyyy new Hugo upload!!!
I shed a tear when you started cutting into a mail with that knife. But nice job lad! I am currently gathering resources for a similar project but for early 15th century. It's a pity that you stopped this series.

I know some sailors were using a palm thimble for big sails. Such a thing might have been nice for you to have.
Nice work! Keep it up.
Good to have you back and looking forward to more.
Looking good 👍 just wonder if you plan to become a Knight with a noble steed one day? Because I think you should plan for that possibility considering the amount ov labor and love involved sewing 😉
Have splitt in the back and it should be OK ☺️
Great work ! This was some hard labour, one that I won't try to do even if i make a lot of my gear
if you make another one depending on your fighting style you can control the amount of padding putting in less padding or more where it is kneaded
I'm willing to bet that "old woven cloth" means linen
fashion in the age of the Black Prince has a good comparison between the doublet and the Aketon the padding in the aketon has 3 pounds of cotton wool and the doublet has 1/8th of a pound of cotton wool but the other material listed is almost the same
I wonder if this still fits you? I assume with something that takes so long to make and also is so close fitting that there must have been a way to exchange garments or modify them when your body changes.
You should have used a thimble when you sew. It would have saved your fingers from the needle
Using a thimble and pliers when sewing such thin clothes is very entertaining. But R&D and manual labor are worthy of respect.
have you been model scouted yet?
