SPES Officers Fencing Jacket 350N

This fencing jacket was designed mostly for single hand sword work bridging the gap between the lighter JF Fencing Jacket and heavier AP Jacket. We found that the excellent protection of the AP jacket is not often needed when doing singlehand sword work, especially with a shield or sabre.

Additional Forearm/elbow guard is recommended.

When checking out using the Custom Size option, include your measurements (according to the Sizing chart in the adjacent tab) in the Comment section during checkout. Do not use punctuation and enter measurements in centimeters (it's made in Europe!) ALL 10 MEASUREMENTS MUST BE INCLUDED.

See Sizing tab for more information.

Black (right handed) usually in stock, left handed and color jackets have an 8-12 week lead time.
Piping color on all jackets is grey shown in pictures.

Officer Fencing Jacket 350N is based on classic historical fencing outfits patterns. It was inspired by Alfred Hutton’s persona.

The project is based on classic historical fencing outfits. Alfred Hutton, who lived at the turn of XIX and XX century and is one of the HEMA pioneers, was the inspiration for creating this unique jacket.
"Officer" Fencing Jacket is designed for light historical fencing training, for a fencer using e.g. sabre, singlestick and rapier in particular. Longsword if controlled.
The jacket has been made of fabric which has a 350N puncture resistance certificate.
Low weight is the greatest asset of this jacket and it gives you the feeling of airiness as well as the ease of movement.
A breathable padding made of a spacing mesh ensures heat and moisture removal as well as high air permeability what greatly boosts the comfort of use.
Safety level has been increased by the use of wide overlap in front with an additional inner mounting, which prevents sliding.
A double mounting on zipper and snaps, ensures a durable and reliable clasp.
The jacket has a blade catcher which protects your larynx from sharp blades.
The drawstring at the waist level on the back ensures a better fit of the jacket. Arms and shoulders have additional layers of padding for better amortization.
The sleeves are equipped with mountings, which allow you to mount additional elbow protectors.

The jacket is available in three standard colors. For additional cost, it is possible to order this jacket in other colours – according to the colour palette. Piping is grey as shown in picture.

5 of 5 A Second Skin December 19, 2023
Reviewer: Edward E. from Mississauga , ON Canada  
When I first put on the jacket, I was concerned that I wouldn’t be able to move quickly, because it fit closely (but not uncomfortably). As soon as I picked up my sabre and started moving around however, I realized how wrong I had been. I felt insulated by the jacket, but it never interfered with my movement. I could step and twist and whirl myself and my sword exactly as if I was just in my shirt. It still provided plenty of protection as well. I took one hard one to the ribs in my last sparring session. While I was aware of the force of the blow, I felt only the tiniest pinch where I was struck, and the day after there wasn’t even a bruise.
I can’t recommend this jacket enough. Even though it was standard sizing it felt perfectly fitted.
