New jacket sprite - Gambeson

[AmoryBlaine]

Arming doublet, Gambeson. It's a jacket, a padded one. It won't have any defense qualities. I mean, it could, I suppose. Available to everyone. Not sure what colours it ought to be in. But yes. Thoughts?

Other than historian nuts, or ancient history enthusiasts, who would wear this? A gambeson should absolutely have protective properties as well, especially cutting and blunt weapons. This is armor we're talking about here.

It's more about the aesthetic than the armor value.

If you implement a gambeson that doesn't protect against anything, I will literally eat my shoes! If it was something that was designed to look like a gambeson without actually being one, that's another story.

P.S.
I love gambesons.

This should be available through the swordsman merchant with armor value, but an unarmored version would probably fit in for some of the colder frontier worlds.

There's no reason it shouldn't count as armour in any iteration. That'd be equivalent to having 'aesthetic chainmail' or 'aesthetic bulletproof vests'.

Just throw this 'loadout items can't have armour values' shit out the fucking window honestly and start giving coats and similar things varying and realistic values.

This reminds me that I need to finish my Unathi Surcoats/tabards project. Sometime later, I suppose.

I do not think it is wise to include medieval armor in our loadout.
