Man’s doublet of ivory silk satin, interlined with canvas and lined with carnation pink satin. It has a 3-inch (7.4 cm) collar, 2⅛-inch (5.3 cm) deep shoulder wings, curving 2-piece sleeves, with a high waist and 8 laps below the waist. The chest, back and sleeves are paned. The doublet is covered with ½ inch (1.25 cm) wide strips of ivory satin, laid with a narrower silk strip wrapped with silk thread and spiral-plied silk threads. The satin between these strips of embellishment is stamped with floral motifs. The belly piece is made of bents (stems of rushes) stitched between layers of linen and lined with carnation satin. There are 8 worked buttonholes on each sleeve and 43 on the left front with three button loops on the collar. The ⅜-inch (8 mm) diameter wooden buttons are covered with ivory silk thread; only 6 remain. The laps have 8 worked eyelet holes; each lap at centre front has 5. These are decorative, as there is a lacing band at the inside waist with 45 worked eyelets. A lacing loop of carnation satin sits on each belly piece.

The doublet was probably worn for fancy dress in the late 19th century and quilted sleeves of pink silk were added. These have been removed, see T.59:A & B-1910.
