Renaissance HEMA Doublet 350N, Mens

Not a stock item, please allow 10-14 weeks for delivery.






The Renaissance Doublet for HEMA came to existence with a view to meet the expectations of enthusiasts of HEMA jackets with a strong historical vibe. The design of our HEMA doublet refers to fencing doublets from the Renaissance period.

This doublet is dedicated for HEMA training of light and medium intensity, with the use of light simulators like saber, messer, or rapier. It makes a perfect set of HEMA gear with our pants: Meyer or Light.

Our HEMA doublet does not have much stitching and it has characteristic shoulder wings on sleeves and a segmented peplum. On the back it has an adjustable belt for better fitting to the waist. On the elbows it is equipped with mountings for Shell or PRO overlays. The doublet is fastened with velcro and zipper.




Our interpretation of a Renaissance doublet is made from fabric of 350N puncture resistance. The peplum consists of 8 segments; the 2 on the front are slightly sheared. Jacket has a distance mesh lining. Just like our Attila jacket, the doublet has a front flap and special pockets with cushioning foams (included in the set).

The design of our HEMA doublet refers to historical examples of arming and fencing doublets. This means it is perfectly fitted to body shape, emphasizing its triangular shape. What is more, wings on the sleeves visually expand the shoulders, underlining the torso. Apart from the great look, this jacket also provides good mobility - don’t wait and check it yourself!


What is a doublet?


A doublet (or a pourpoint) is a short, tight clothing for men, usually worn under an outer garment. It was popular since the Middle Ages and, depending on the historical period, its form and purpose could differ.

It probably derives from military clothing, used as one of the layers worn under a chain mail. In the 14th century, when shorter garments gained popularity, short doublets slowly started to replace long cottes.

Pourpoints of this type were always fitted to body shape and, depending on the fashion, they could be shorter, longer, fastened with buttons or laced in an overcast method. Sleeves could be simple or fancy, for example decorated with puffs.Originally doublets were made of only one layer of fabric and their main task was to hold the hose. Later, it evolved in the separate version worn as an outer quilted clothing for fighting.




The product from the assortment is not personal protective equipment - it is intended for simulating the impression during the study on the treatise techniques. It is not dedicated for fencing or contact sport. If you wish to do contact martial arts, please use personal protective equipment.

SPES Brought the Drip
I am very satisfied with my new doublet! It looks absolutely beautiful with the De Blois Grey pattern, and the foam padding helps so much. I feel so light and free when I wear it, which is further helped by the size I chose (I grew a bit bigger between the year I ordered my last SPES jacket and the year I ordered this doublet). The peplum doesn't get in the way or get snagged onto anything when
