Handcrafted 14th Century Arming Doublet – Medieval Padded Jacket with Brass Tips

14th Century Arming Doublet with Brass-Tipped Aglets:
The 14th Century Arming Doublet is a masterpiece of transitional medieval defense, marking the era’s shift toward more fitted, anatomical protection. Often referred to as a “pourpoint” or “arming coat,” this garment is specifically tailored to meet the needs of a man-at-arms. Expertly crafted with traditional vertical quilting, it provides the essential foundation required to support the weight of steel plate while offering stand-alone protection for light skirmishers.

Key Features:
Premium Construction: Hand-crafted from heavy-duty 100% pure cotton canvas. This multi-layered textile provides maximum breathability during high-exertion combat while maintaining extreme durability.
Brass-Tipped Aglets:
Unlike standard jackets, this doublet features historical lace-up closures finished with polished brass tips (aglets). These facilitate easy threading through arming points and prevent cord fraying under tension.
Authentic 14th Century Silhouette:
Designed with the characteristic “grand assiette” (deep-set) sleeves and a tapered waist, ensuring the garment stays in place and does not “ride up” when the arms are raised.
High-Impact Cushioning: Engineered for a “soft wear” experience, the internal padding acts as a vital shock absorber, mitigating the blunt force of strikes and preventing the steel edges of armor from chafing the skin.
Versatile Utility:
The Foundational Arming Layer: The primary “arming doublet” used to mount and secure leg harnesses, spaulders, and couters using corded points.
Independent Infantry Defense:
A formidable choice for archers and light infantry who require agility and high-mobility protection without the weight of metal.
The Jupon Style:
Its sleek, tailored fit allows it to be worn over a mail hauberk as a protective “jupon,” shielding your expensive metal links from dirt, moisture, and sun heat.
Why Choose the Brass-Tipped Doublet?
In the 14th century, the transition from mail to plate required a garment that could act as a bridge. The addition of brass tips reflects the technological refinements of the period, offering both a touch of historical status and the practical advantage of fast, reliable lacing in the field. This is the definitive piece for any reenactor seeking to bridge the gap between comfort and combat readiness.
