The doublet (plural doublets ) is a form of jacket and an early stage of today's vest .
description
Originally, a doublet was the under jacket of the Franconian armored riders , which was worn for padding under the armor. The doublet found its way into civilian clothing in the 13th and 14th centuries; Until about 1500 an overcoat was always worn over it.
Around 1500 the doublet became independent as a garment in the course of Spanish fashion . The aristocratic man wore melon trousers stuffed with tow , bran or horsehair , which - only thigh- length - encircled the legs in a spherical shape. The common man wore unstuffed, barely knee-length trousers made of wool.
An upper garment in the manner of a doublet worn around the 15th century is called a gippe .
Until the invention of the long-sleeved vest in the 17th century, the doublet was used as a men's outer garment. In the baroque era it was then replaced by the vest.
