The doublet is a close-fitting jacket or vest for men. The origin of this garment lies in the Frankish doublet, which was worn as an undergarment from the 14th century onwards.
From the 15th century onwards, the doublet appeared as an outer garment in Spanish fashion and spread throughout Europe. Typical features of this type of garment were the close fit, a small stand-up collar and a seam at the waist. It was usually elaborately decorated and made from high-quality fabrics.
The doublet was waist- or hip-length and sometimes had an attached bodice. The attached bodice concealed the transition to the trousers, which were fastened directly to the doublet with nesting straps. The sleeves were also sometimes only attached to the shoulders with studs and could thus be removed or replaced. Not every doublet had sleeves and so the doublet was the predecessor of our modern-day vest. The front center was usually closed with numerous buttons (a laced front center was more common with its predecessor, the doublet). The stomach and chest area was often particularly emphasized and stuffed, as was the fashion at the time.
Our lined velvet doublet (100% cotton) does not quite reach the hips. Appliquéd ribbons, high-quality ball buttons and attached shoulder flaps make it clear that it was designed for festive occasions. The attached lap is slit and has hidden, embroidered eyelets at the front. The eyelets make it possible to fasten the pants directly. This elegant doublet is ideal for portraying well-to-do estates.
Details:
- Color: black
- Material: 100% cotton (velvet)
- Total length for size L: approx. 58.5 cm (measured at the center back)
- Care instructions:
Cotton velvet should not be put in the washing machine, as velvet will crease irrevocably. Velvet should also not be ironed, as this causes the pile to lose its depth. We recommend brushing out light stains with a clothes brush in the direction of the pile. For more serious stains, we recommend taking the dress to the dry cleaner
