A picture of a replica late 15th century doublet. This picture shows the red linen lining and gold silk facings at the edges of the doublet. This was a common technique since the silk lining could be glimpsed in these places.
The silk facings for a red silk doublet. It was quite common for even the most expensive of clothes to be made in this way.
The lining was made of relatively cheap material -in this case red linen but often thin wool or canvas
