St. George fencing jacket 800N made to measure

The St. George suit was developed by Paul Becker between 2018 and 2021, drawing on his 25 years of experience as a historical fencer and fencing instructor. It was designed to provide real protection for historical fencing fencers. Fellow fencing instructors were also involved in the development process to provide their feedback. Paul collaborated with the renowned manufacturer Uhlmann Fechtsport, which manufactures these products in Germany according to the highest standards and with its many years of expertise.

The St. George fencing uniform combines the high protection of the FIE (Federation Internationale d'Escrime) safety standards with the demands of historical fencers for mobility and comfort.

The St. George fencing uniform has been tried and tested for over four years in competitions from sabre fencing to long sword fencing and enjoys great popularity.

The suit's 800N stab resistance has been tested and certified by European notified bodies according to the highest FIE standards (EN 13567: 2002 + A1: 2007, Level 2). But stab resistance isn't the only thing tested. The St. George fencing suit meets all the requirements for fencing protective clothing stipulated in the EN 13567: 2002 + A1: 2007, Level 2 standard, such as comfort, seam finish, seam tear resistance, protection zones, and much more. It's not just stab resistance that's tested.

Lay tests such as self-tests according to SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) are not comparable with the standards of stab resistance according to FIE standards and the requirements for protective equipment.

Therefore, always ensure that personal protective equipment must be tested and certified by independent notified bodies in accordance with the EU Regulation for personal protective equipment, as you can see from our product leaflets.

With our St. George suit, you receive the highest quality and safest personal protective equipment and can check the relevant independent certificates via the legally required package inserts.

A custom-made garment is always something very special. You must measure yourself according to our instructions. You can download the instructions here . Send them to us by email after placing your order. This video shows you how to measure.

NOTE!

• When measuring the length, make sure you measure to where you want the jacket to sit (e.g. back length, sleeve length)

No right of withdrawal and no exchange for custom-made and special-made items (e.g. printed goods).

scope
This garment is intended exclusively for use with safe, flexible blades intended for sport historical fencing.

The selection of the correct level of fencing protective equipment depends on the regulations of the respective national fencing federation, as well as the International Fencing Federation (FIE). In any case, we strongly recommend using only protective fencing clothing of the highest level (EN 13567 + A1:2007, Level 2 > 800N, please refer to the label and the front of the accompanying sheet). In any case, an undergarment must also be worn under the fencing jacket. A fencing jacket must be worn together with fencing trousers with at least the same level of protection.

Please refer to the chart on our website for the correct fencing jacket size. Fencing protective clothing should be chosen large enough to allow for unrestricted movement.

The protective zones of the garment (shown in grey) are shown in the illustration above (see image gallery).

The following items of clothing are not part of the protection zones:

- The elastic bands on the sleeve openings
- The strap that is passed between the legs
- All other fastening and fastening devices such as straps, Velcro fasteners, zippers, etc.

When putting on the fencing jacket, ensure that all fastening and closure devices (straps, buttons, zippers, Velcro fasteners, etc.) are fully and securely closed. If any fastening and/or closure devices no longer function properly, the jacket may no longer be used.

Warnings
This fencing jacket is intended exclusively for use in competitive Olympic and historical fencing. The selection of the correct level of fencing protective equipment depends on the regulations of the respective fencing federation. We strongly recommend using only protective equipment of the highest level (EN 13567: 2002 + A1: 2007, Level 2). In all cases, an undergarment must also be worn under the fencing jacket. A sabre jacket (without the triangular protection for the lower abdomen) must be worn together with fencing trousers with at least the same level of protection.

Fencing, as a combat sport involving physical contact with the fencing weapon, is inherently dangerous. The goal of protective equipment for fencers is to prevent injuries as much as possible or, in the worst case, to minimize the severity of injury, particularly from the tip of the weapon. Broken blades pose a particular threat. The circumstances of a blade breakage can lead to high tip speeds and high-energy impacts. Broken blades are known to penetrate protective clothing with potentially fatal consequences. Protective equipment for fencing cannot guarantee complete protection against injuries—especially those caused by broken blades.

Protective equipment must not be modified or tampered with by the user. In particular, seams must not be undone or other parts added or removed.

Fencing jackets are designed to be used by either right-handed or left-handed athletes (weapon-wielding arm) (see marking on the cover). Fencing clothing designed for right-handed athletes may never be used by left-handed athletes (and vice versa).

The care instructions must be strictly observed. Failure to comply may result in a reduction in the protective properties. Fencing protective equipment should be checked regularly for any mechanical damage (abrasions, tears, holes, torn seams). In this case, the protective effect may be reduced, and the protective equipment must no longer be used.


Cleaning, care and storage
The product is washable at 30°C on a delicate cycle. A mild detergent should be used. The jacket should not be spun or tumble dried, as mechanical stress can reduce its protective effect. All fasteners must be closed before washing.

Store in the original packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct light.
This protective clothing does not contain any substances suspected of adversely affecting the health or hygiene of the user under conditions of normal use.

This protective clothing complies with the health and safety requirements of Regulation 2016/425.
