The characteristic upper-body garment, a short, fitted jacket called a "doublet", was made of wool, canvas, or a finer fabric, sometimes even of leather. The doublet might be padded or quilted, plain or heavily trimmed and either buttoned, hooked, or laced up the front. The wealthy might have a doublet that laced on the side seams.
Like a woman's bodice, the doublet was often adorned at the v-shaped waistline with tabs, or piccadills, and would feature wings at the shoulders. The doublet might have a detachable set of sleeves that laced in, making them interchangeable with other sleeves.
An additional garment, called a jerkin, could be worn over the doublet when temperature or fashion required. The jerkin was essentially the same design as the doublet, but would be sleeveless.
