100% cotton padded gambeson

Yard sale - new and unworn XXL 100% cotton padded gambeson. You're thinking to yourself, "hey, that style looks familar!" Yes, this is of a type/cut that's been arriving in the US for a couple of years now. The first wave of them were canvas shells with unknown padding that made them rather hot to wear; second wave had the outer shells only but no padding (they looked good, but did not protect as well); this one is from a new third wave that has 100% cotton padding between cotton canvas shells - protection without quite so much sweating involved. I bought this for myself, but one of these years I'll learn that I don't often fit off-the-rack sizing. I have a 50" chest and 44" waist (thanks for the genetics Dad!), and this is a bit too generous in the chest and even more generous in the stomach - I think it's a modern XXXL with snug fitting biceps. MSRP on these gambesons is $250.
