Man’s doublet of crimson silk grosgrain, interlined with linen, and lined with crimson silk taffeta. It has a 3-inch (7.5 cm) standing collar, 4¼-inch (10.7 cm) deep shoulder wings and curving 2-piece sleeves, with a high, pointed waist and 8 deep laps. A woven lace, ⅛-inch (3 mm) wide, of crimson silk floss and silver filé, applied in parallel rows, covers the seams and decorates the collar, shoulder wings and laps. The belly piece is made of cork and layers of linen stitched together and covered with the crimson silk lining. There are 12 worked buttonholes on each sleeve, 28 down the left front, and 5 button loops of the woven lace on the collar. The buttons have a wooden core covered with crimson silk floss and silver filé; 53 remain. The laps have 7 lacing holes, except for the 2 laps at centre front which each have 5. These are decorative; there is a lacing band inside at the waist with originally 12 metal eyes; 8 now remain. There is a lacing loop of the crimson lining inside each front above the waist. A length of the woven lace is stitched on each front at the waist to hold the belt.
