15th Century Italian Doublet
This is the style of doublet worn underneath most men's garments
of the mid- to late-15th Century. Laced together at the front
and holding up the hose with points through the waistline, it
was generaly worn underneath a houppelande, but in the Italian
city states, it became popular to wear them without the extra
layers. Wheter this was for the climate, or because young men
of the Renaissance liked to show off their lovely figures and
legs in keeping with aesthetic vision of the day, I'm not totally
sure, but it's a very nice, and oft-ignored style.

A note about ordering
Couture Garments
The outfits on these pages are examples of those made for past
clients as well as for the makers at Cote & Cutler themselves.
We are happy to quote for simlar outfits in your own choice of
colours, in whole, or in part, or to show you other designs from
our extensive library.
Please don't be afraid to ask for a component of an outfit you
like if you already have or want to make your own underpinnings
or other items! It can often save you money, and while we like to
receive your money, we also understand the restrictions of budget
:)
