Doublet

Doublet
DOUBLET
This article of apparel, though deriving its name from the French doublee (lined), is in that language more generally known by the name of pourpoint, of which it was merely a variety. The term " doblet " or " doublet," occurs in French documents of the 14th century, the period when it first appears in England. In its original state it had no sleeves, which were afterwards added for convenience, and becoming universally adopted, it superseded the tunic, and after many alterations it lost its name and became the waistcoat.
