White doublet

Me and Mikkel have been looking at various white male outerwear like jackets and whatnot. And I've been wanting to make one specific for a while now. I finished it a month ago or so, but I knew I was soon to go on a trip so I wanted to wait with showing it on the blog before I got good pictures of it in use.

Here is the Reference Painting:



It's the St John's altarpiece From 1474-1479. By Memling.

And here is my version of it:









I did not make the low cut on the head opening because then my undershirt would show, and it does not do that on the painting so I figured I just had to make the opening smaller.

From the start I have been in love with the little detail you can see at the sleeve on the painting and it is one of the reasons I wanted to make this jacket.
