Pourpoint doublets are inspired by the fitted padded garments worn throughout the late medieval period, especially from the 14th to 15th centuries. Historically, pourpoints and doublets were essential garments worn by soldiers, knights, and nobles, both as everyday clothing and as arming garments beneath plate armour. Their tailored design provided structure, support, and improved weight distribution when armour was worn.

Historical Background & Use

In medieval times, pourpoint doublets were designed to closely fit the body, often padded and stitched to enhance durability and comfort. They were commonly used to attach armour components such as hose and leg armour, making them a critical part of a complete armour system. Beyond warfare, doublets were also worn as fashionable outer garments, reflecting status and regional style.
