 |
|
Hello I was reading Wikipedia and it said in 1100-1200 in Fashion that:
| Quote: | | Newly fashionable were short, fitted garments for the upper body, worn under the tunic: the doublet, made of two layers of linen, and an early form of quilted and padded jupe or gipon.[1] |
Is this true? I had never heard of linen doublets in the 1100s!!!
Thnx

Most clothing historians I know put the development of the doublet sometime around the third quarter of the Fourteenth Century; maybe a little earlier.
But, of course, Wikipedia is never wrong!

Sounds very suspicious. I checked the article, but couldn't look at the source mentioned. Maybe someone else has this book?
