The new book, "The Tudor Tailor" has a line drawing of almost exactly what you want, on page 63. You would just have to make the hanging sleeves.

I give up! I have searched all the usual suspects, Arnold, Mikhaila, Waugh, Tudor Images, Costume in the Western World, Davenport, Ashelford etc., the costume books edited by James Laver, a beautiful Czech book I have and so on. I cannot find an image of a gentleman in breeches and skirted doublet for about 1560-80. It is for my husband to wear to an SCA event we have been invited to in the summer. I have all the garb for me for gentry, and my husband has a pair of wool breeches and a pair of slightly non-authentic boots that will have to do. However, as he is only going to be wearing this doublet once, and i am totally tight for time, I need something simple and thought that a plain but rich wool skirted doublet would be ideal. He has his own peascod belly so won't need padding, but the only images I can find are of upper class servants, or peasants, and my husband would not have been a peasant!! (Me? marry a peasant? - bah!) I may have to go with what I want rather than what is strictly authentic, but any advice or images would be most welcome.
