Quote: I have seen these come up in excavtion reports up to the 10th Century in Central Europe... Claire Do you have some titles, because this is interesting. With Central Europe, do you mean here what is now known as Eastern Europe/Balkans.

Quote:too early for viking. but the Ulfrun group is Viking, aren't they? I checked out their site. I also like the lamellar and quilted arming coat(?) in the first picture. Could a jacket like that be diamond pattern quilt as well ?

Looks to me that the Picture from the Ulfrun site is taken during a training/show (early medieval / viking).
In which also other people/groups were present. This group has an interest in Rus Vikings. The gambeson in the picture has a slavic origin, whith these modern ones being made in Russia.

out of interest in slavic kit, is there any evidence of Slav gambeson styles?
I've seen possible diamond pattern ones from the Tomochov psaltair C14th Bulgarian but nothing earlier except Byzantine stuff.
