Product description
This doublet is based on a late 16th-century original. Doublets like this were worn during the Dutch Golden Age through the first half of the 17th century. Sometimes soldiers and civilians alike paired them with a matching leather vest worn on top. Made from high-quality cotton and lined with a lightweight cotton interior, it's comfortable all day long. Close the front with decorative metal buttons for an authentic finishing touch. Wear it on cooler days — the breathable construction keeps you comfortable.
The doublet features a classic hip-length cut and a wide, split waistband for an elegant silhouette. The sleeves are true to the period, with mid-length slits that give you extra freedom of movement. The result is a doublet that's both functional and stylish — great for warmer days without sacrificing a refined look.
Originally an underlayer, the doublet evolved into a fashionable statement piece, often richly decorated among the upper social classes. Soldiers and knights favored it for the freedom of movement and light protection it provided — practical and stylish across a wide range of occasions, from daily wear to formal events. This doublet pairs historical authenticity with modern materials, making it ideal for reenactment, LARP, or simply as a distinctive everyday garment.
