I have a man's doublet that is too tight for buttons and am looking
for a period correct way of fastening down the front where the two
sides just meet. I have not seen any lace up in any paintings. Can
anyone help my poor tired brain with options?

Hooks and eyes are period. Just be certain to put them no more than
1" apart. Any farther apart and you will have gaps. And do sew down
the hook side at the little loops at one end and at the hook end.
