Jack asked me how much for a doublet '£90 + materials' I said - Jack dragged Jake over to my stall and told him he had to buy a doublet from me. Very flattering. :D

Blue wool lined with white linen - it won't stay that way - after a season with the Clarences Jake will know not to use white for lining wool that will rarely ef ever be washed!

This is a simple style, common mans, doublet - the style is typical of the 3rd quarter of the 15th century in England. The mid blue colour would have been acheived using woad. This depth of colour could have been acheived after using the dyebath to produce an expensive deep blue. Not the most expensive cloth, but not the cheapest either. A doublet is so called because it is made of two layers of fabric - the outer and the 'doublure' (French for lining)!

The fastenings are simple ';points' of leather threaded through eyelets and tied. These would normally be finished with a brass aiglet but I was in a hurry to take advantage of the sunshine.

I really like that back neck line going on. Would that be called the yoke or what?

I imagine that the "yoke" is actually cut as part of the collar?

I particularly like the sleeves. Overall it looks really good! I also like the fastenings, all really rather inspiring.

Maybe you could make some more for the november market?

Beautiful, I love the fastenings.

I'd take a picture in rememberance.

Looks lovely, and thanks for the historical info as well!

Thank you - authentic but not commonly seen - most 'yokes' are triangular. I do like to redress the balance a little occasionally - I probably won't do another 'U' shaped back again for a while.
I suppose it's called a yoke - never really thought about it - I always considered a yoke as being something that went aross the entire width of a garment - perhaps there's someone with fashion training that can help me out?

heh! Well, I'm in the school for fashion, but I haven't learned what that would be called. I think a yoke is similar to your definition though...

You studied fashion - is it a yoke? I really never gave it's name a thought! and yes it is cut in one with the collar.

Thank you - the fastenings are also typical of the 15th Century sometimes made of wool, silk or linen fingerloop braid, sometimes just leather like these. They are a simple, effective, quick release fastening and are regularly depicted in contemporary paintings.

I'd love to make some for the market but there are already traders with ready made medieval doublets who I can't compete with on price so I'd rather compete with bespoke quality garments. :D

Thank you - these are simple leather thongs - some of the original laces were intricately braided silk.

I personally would say it is just part of the collar, and that style of collar probably has a particular name that corresponds with the centuries fashions.

Besides, a yoke usually covers the shoulders, and more often than not spreads to the front? But then I'm no mastermind on the subject.
