Funny, because one 15thc picture has all of that

Martyrdom of St Ursula, by Hans Memling.

It has a pic of men in jacks, one with jack chains and one with a kettle hat.

and a very poor online repro - there are better, but this will be enough for you to track down a better version

the kettle hat I refer to is the one being worn by the archer, left hand panel.

Jack chains in first pic.

There are other images of all of those things but this is an extremely good rendering because Memling was the dog's nuts.

Happy hunting.

GDFB (get dressed for battle) in the UK has them on their web site for under $100 US, but they've been 'out of stock' going on 6 months.
