The Armour Archive

I posted pics about a month ago of this doublet.

The buyer sent me some pics of it on him and I thought I would share.

That's me. Edric did an outstanding job on the doublet. It's a herringbone pattern linen on the outside, two layers of heavy linen and one layer of cotton batting inside, and then lined in a natural texture herringbone pattern silk. The thirteen buttons are from the Argent Co. and Edric enameled the centers for me. It's beautiful and it fits like a glove.

Now that’s a right smart garment.

Thanks for the pics.

Wow. Very VERY nice.

Excellent work. It's wonderful to see more attention being paid to the foundation garments that go with the armour.

Condottiere, congratulations that is a fantastic doublet. How is the arm movement?

That's a sweet doublet! What references did you use in the design?
