Theres an article here by a woman making a linen padded jack - very similar to the armour that would have been worn by the rank-and-file in the Wars of the Roses. Shes made it with 28 layers of linen and then quilted it. In the Wars of the Roses people would have worn this without any metal or leather. If you scroll down to about half way down the article, where they test its defensive capabilities, youll see why. costumegirl.wordpress/2010/04/01/the-making-of-a-medieval-gambeson/
