I bought a custom superior fencing jacket, the 800 Newton one, it's a tank. I sewed pockets inside for ice packs, the jacket is so hot in the California summer. I like the double zippers for safety.
I think the flaps are a good idea but I hate what they did to the proportions of the "historically-inspired" design. Same with the poofy sleeves, which have even less of a historical basis and also no actual benefit. Not sure why they're pushing this design so hard when it looks so goofy.
Always interesting to me that seemingly few makers ever look into classical tailoring conventions. Many of the problems that come up in videos such as this one could be solved without too much effort.
Ladies and gentlemen, it took Matt seven (7) seconds to talk about CONTEXT!
I've had issues with Supfen, my friend and I ordered custum jackets, 1st pair came in very badly made, to the point that it was unwearble. We contacted them, they agreed to make another pair for us if we just cover shipping, those also came in all wrong, but slightly closer to our measurements. Thats 4 jackets they couldn't make right, I'm not asking them to make me a custum jacket ever again.
My jacket is a bit disappointing but my husband is phenomenal. Mine was custom but hte size they gave me was too large. its too long in the arm and the wirsts are too wide.
"I'M NOT WEARING HEMA PADS!!!" (Batman choice)
... there's a fencer at my club with that exact jacket you're wearing at the intro and I'm too shy to ask him where he got it, so thank you for that.
If cooling is a major issue, why aren't there HEMA jackets that are open at the back? You don't get stabbed in the back much, do you?
I could listen to Matt review HEMA products all day 😄
Great review!
All the Supfen gear I have is proper robust and well made
Supfen stuff is really nice.
I remember your landsknecht armor video, where the armor was made to emulate those puffy cuts in the fabric and i immediately thought of them as great channels for thrusts and arrow shots x)
I have Supfens Angelo jacket and love it. They do custom sizes and custom colors. I love the padding and quilting in it. My clubmate has the Landsknecht jacket from this video and loves his, also custom fitted and colored. I've had my Angelo jacket for a year and a half and the only thing wearing out is the fluff of the velcro which I'm about to replace myself.
would like to see available the masks/helmets available for contemporary Hema/sparing today.
I have this jacket and it's great. You correct about the poofy parts being a blade catcher. You mentioned Hema Supplies, I believe they are no longer in business. Great video btw
Were the orginal fencing jackets bassicly like a gambesons with build in jackchains and coat of plate or was it more like gambeson with build in splint bracers arm protection and brigendine?
Thank you so much for a very interesting video. I've got three questions, though. Sorry if they come off as dumb:
