Doublet Patterns
spacer
   

spacer This is a renaissance doublet with a full length V front and a plastron.

spacer This is one is the one Henry VIII is wearing under is great overcoat and Jerkin in his most famous painting and is prety much "the basic doublet" patern of the "Renaissence." Take this one and run with it slash it or attach "Bases" to it, just have funn.

spacer Here is .

spacer This is a great doublet patern to use if you have a shirt with a lot of black work, or some other thing you want to show-off. Kind of like the fad in the 1970s when hary chested men wore their shirts open down to thire navels, this can be used (it is not advisable for those with breast to wear this one as it may not stay on the shoulders.)

spacer Here is one of my favorite doublet styles it is very flexable and the closur can be a couple of buttons, or buckles, or even tied. It is rather like the double brested jacket of its times. This was used for the pale green shirt Captain Kirk wears in the last season of Star Trek with the wrap around belt peice.

spacer spacer This is a patern for the great surcoat worn by King Henry VIII of England very well known painting as well as this painting of Francis I, King of France. (right) This is a fun an comfortable garment but it is big and depending on your choice of fabrics it will be very heavy, but remember when you are wearing it

spacer spacer And here is a patern of the Jerkin Henry VIII wore under the above surcoat. The jerkin front and back peises ar the two peises in site the arched pese whis is a patern bases. However when I now make spacer Bases I like to use a large full circle gored and gathere patern. With cartrage pleats if I can, but the last time I did this I used over twelve meters of sixty inch wide fabric at over three hundred dollars.
