The best that I can say, as I am still learning. It appears that the red is a doublet/pourpoint/farcetto. The black without seeing it's actual form could be a man's version of a woman's giornea. http://tinyurl.com/325yc8l
Because there is a skirt or peplum to the black it is not a plackett(sp?) The outer is a coat but I don't know the name. It is alleged by some to have evolved from the houppelaud. You will find similar outfits in 1490 Italian paintings. http://tinyurl.com/33k4rut The dwarf is wearing the giornea type garment. Now the man on the left/front appears to be wearing a red doublet and a black one over that. http://tinyurl.com/383wj6d http://tinyurl.com/34okvhh This one appears to have a plackett. The style appears to be early waffenrock.
