This body-hugging doublet is made from cotton twill and features contrasting details. The central front is closed with a burgundy red Nestlé ribbon. There are also snap-on bands on the sleeve hem and attached neckline. With the snap-on straps on the lap, the gaiters can be attached directly to the doublet. This doublet is lined with a contrasting, lightweight cotton fabric. There's nothing else, it's a doublet.
The slim-cut doublet appeared in the High Middle Ages and replaced the long, wide tunic. It is used with hose or combined leggings, where the clothing is attached directly to the doublet.
Typical features of a doublet are the attached neckline, a tight fit to the body, a small turtleneck, and a center or buttoned front button. The doublet was initially worn as a turtleneck jacket. During the Renaissance, the neckline became deeper and the doublet became more richly decorated.
A light shirt or waistcoat was usually worn under the doublet.
There are numerous depictions of doublets from the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance, for example in the Palatini Germanici 466 Codices.
