In a monograph published by the Musee des Tissus (Lyons), the Charles de Blois pourpoint is conjectured to be worn over a vest-like thing that held all the stuffing for the fashionable high puff chest. This particular example has the sleeves & body of the gament all in the same fabric. We discussed this pourpoint, the account books from the Dukes of Lorraine, Jeanne d'Arc & the records from her trial waaay-back. Check the h-cost archives. --cin Cynthia Barnes cinbar...@gmail.com
