Very curious and interesting! Thanks for sharing. The only other
asymmetrical men's doublets that come to mind are from much earlier,
like the Barthel Beham "scorekeeper" from 1529.
What about this one:

I've always wondered where it closes. Is that diagonal frogging on an
asymmetrical closure inside the loop of the necklaces? (And I love the
necklace going over one shoulder and under the opposite arm...)

The link to the Clouet drawings made me start looking
for this picture again. It was years ago, now, that I
asked about it and no one knew what I was talking
about. But today I found it. This is a drawing of
Admiral Coligny (1519 - 1572) from the 1560s or so, I
think, with the most pecularly cut doub let you've
ever seen.
