Product description
This doublet is based on a late 16th-century original. Doublets like this were worn during the Dutch Golden Age up until the first half of the 17th century. Sometimes a matching leather vest was worn over these doublets. It is made from high-quality cotton and lined with a lightweight cotton interior, making it comfortable to wear. The front can be closed with decorative metal buttons, adding an authentic accent. This jacket keeps you warm on cooler days while remaining breathable for comfort.
The doublet has a classic hip-length cut and a wide, split waistband, giving it an elegant appearance. The sleeves are typical of the period, with mid-length slits for extra freedom of movement. This makes the doublet both functional and stylish, suitable for warmer days while maintaining a refined look.
Originally worn as an underlayer, the doublet evolved into a fashionable garment, often richly decorated in the upper social classes. It was particularly popular with soldiers and knights due to the freedom of movement and light protection it offered, making it a practical and stylish piece for various occasions, from daily wear to formal events. This doublet combines historical authenticity with modern materials, making it perfect for reenactment, LARP, or simply as a distinctive garment.
