Manly Garb

Doublet -- A doublet was a jacket-like garment that was a staple in a man's wardrobe. It could match the bottoms or not as the whim of the owner dictated.  Sleeves could be permanent or removable.  Skirting is optional and can take the form of a solid skirting, or tabbed--rounded or squared.


Jerkin: The jerkin was a sleeveless "jacket" (similar to a doublet) that was worn over  a doublet.  It could be made of any material, though was often made of leather.
Trunk hosen (slops): Paned slops, trunk hosen, or pansied slops were the quintessential Renaissance man's attire for his legs.  The paned slops were strips of fabric sewn into a waistband in such a way to allow a fancy fabric to to peek through.  The peek-a-boo fabric could pull through or simply remained tucked in behind the panes.  


Venetians are semi-fitted hose reaching just below the knee.  These are great for a man who just wants room. 

      Canions: were worn either alone or under trunk hosen.  They were fitted and reached to the top of the knee.
