Doublet Tristan, black

Product description

Doublets were extremely popular in the 16th century. Around this time, a leather jacket or vest was sometimes worn over the doublet. This type of doublet was worn from the first half of the 16th century onwards.

They provided extra protection against the cold whilst permitting good freedom of movement. Doublets were worn during the Dutch Golden Age and in the time of Elizabeth I of England.

The doublet is decorated with black satin stitching. It features cords that may be employed to fasten it, and it can also be worn half open — which proves particularly convenient when a large, decorated shirt is worn underneath.
