Pourpoint 14th-15th century

Product description

The pourpoint, also known as a doublet, is a garment for men that was worn from the fourteenth to the mid-seventeenth century. The garment originated in southern Europe and spread as fashion throughout the rest of northwestern Europe. The pourpoint was worn close to the body for warmth and to emphasise the body's shape. This pourpoint is based on originals from the 14th and 15th centuries. It features lacing holes for attaching chausses or leg armour. This type of doublet has been designed as an arming jacket and may be worn beneath armour.
