I"m about to send this book back to the UGA library (ya gotta love
InterLibrary Loan!).  Not only does it have an enormous collection of
paintings that I've never seen before, it also has a picture of, well,
a sweater.

Figure cption reads "Women's camicola or knitted jacket.  First quarter
of seventeenth century.  Florence, Museo Stibbert.

"Camicola knitted in red and gold silk, made my male professionals. 
This type of garment, already present in Eleanora's wardrobe, is
recorded with increasing frequency in the documents of the second half
of the century."
