Make your own medieval experience with our 15^th century arming doublet complete with lacing points.

As more protective plate amour developed in the late middle ages the need for heavy padding diminished. A lighter style arming doublet or pourpoint developed to provide some protection and to attach amour to.

This arming doublet is lightly padded and made from heavy cotton, and the sleeve is cut in the 'grand assiette' style that gives the arms a wide range of free movement while keeping the body of the doublet fitted close to the body

The arming points are made from woven cord with aglets stitched on. We recommend crimping the aglets and/or adding a drop of superglue to ensure they hold fast for many lacings and re-lacings.

The internal fabric padding is made from cotton which helps to keep the wearer cooler compared to cheaper synthetic garments.

The doublet features sewn eyelets to lace through, not metal grommets. You can overcast these with a whipstitch or buttonhole stitch if you wish to reinforce these.
