Simple doublet in use between about 1430-1475.
It is worn over the shirt but in historical sources it is very often hidden by the dress/surcoat over it.
The cut is short, it stops just below the belt, and it has a collar that is often short;
It is most often in wool, but velvet and silk (including brocade) seem sometimes to have been used for rich statuses.
The linen outer option is a compromise on historicity in view of the very hot summers we have nowadays.
It most often seems to have openings on the forearms, but I offer an option without to reduce the cost.
The doublet does not include the points; they are available separately.
