A doublet is a man's snug-fitting buttoned jacket that is shaped and fitted to the man's body which was worn in Spain and was spread to Western Europe from the late Middle Ages up to the mid-17th century.The doublet was hip length or waist length and worn over the shirt or drawers.Until the end of the 15th century the doublet was worn under another layer of clothing such as a gown, mantle, overtunic or jerkin.Originally it was a mere stitched and quilted lining , worn under a hauberk or cuirass to prevent bruising and chafing. ---Image-Copyright-and-Permission--- About the author(s): Alonso Sánchez Coello (1532–1588) Description Spanish painter Date of birth/death 1531 or 1532 8 August 1588 Location of birth/death Benifairón Madrid Work location Valladolid, Madrid Authority control VIAF: 95690202 ISNI: 0000 0001 1616 3611 ULAN: 500001577 LCCN: nr91023841 GND: 119349485 WorldCat License: Public domain Author(s): Alonso Sánchez Coello ---Image-Copyright-and-Permission--- This channel is dedicated to make Wikipedia, one of the biggest knowledge databases in the world available to people with limited vision.
