I lack practical experience with men's wear in
general, let alone this period. This is a skin-out
project, so I need to know just what I am committing
to here. I see the following layers:
*underwear
*shirt
*netherstocks
*jerkin
*possibly waistcoat, but could be attached sleeves
*Venetians/Breeches
Sound about right? Anyone have any clues where to
start finding reference materials for construction?
Mostly. I'd have to guess that he's wearing a black jerkin over a red
doublet.
