Hi Ingrid, I've got a late 15th cent arming coat from HE, you could have a look at. No poofs on the shoulders, but you could get an idea of the general shape and fit. LMK, Also I have a book of Johns I need to return..Otto

Hey there,
We talked at coronation about period underarmour.
You can go with out the 'puff' at the top of the sleeve. In fact you may want to go with out the 'puff' if you plan on adding spaudlers to your kit. They may get in the way.
When fitting, its important to have the motion of the shoulder joint take place in the sleeve not in the body of the coat. It give better range of motion and less wear on the coat.

hope this helps. I can snap pics of mine but I gota wash it first. It stinks so bad it might etch the lens on my camera

Puffed coat shoulders go with pauldrons. Either less puff or no puff would go with spaudlers.

Slap your Spellcheck; it knoweth not braies from braise from braze. Believe me, you do not want to get these three mixed up!

Either of the latter two in the former one equals :shock:

and loud noises. Also hate 'n' discontent.

I should point out thaT Mahoitered sleeves were primarily a Franco-Burgundian fashion - not a German one.
