Man's Doublet & Breeches (1630-1640)
English: Man's Doublet and Breeches

1630-40
Satin trimmed with silk braid and silk ribbon.
Made in England.

This doublet and breeches were made of recycled quilted satin, probably taken from a bed cover. Seams that do not follow the construction of the doublet and the varying directions of the quilted pattern are clues to this reuse. Nevertheless, great care was taken to show the quilting to best effect. A braid of knotted and tufted silk was added to the finished doublet and twelve large bows of silk ribbon adorn the waist.

The full knee-length breeches are typical of men�s dress of the 1630s. The doublet has a waist line slightly above the natural level, open front seams on the sleeves and bears large waist tabs, also characteristic of the period.

The outfit would have been worn with a matching or contrasting cloak, silk stockings and fine lace or linen collar and cuffs. The buttons have been left undone so as not to damage them.
