i boken Medieval Military Costume skriven av Gerry Embelton så nämns en text på sida 82 om en 1400tals (15th Century) doublet med brynja på.
"One Important later 15th Century illustated text is headed "How a man schall be armyd at his ese when he schal figthe on foote".
In modern spelling it reads, in part: " he shall have no shirt upon him, but adoublet of fustian lined with satin, cut full of holes. The doublet must be strongly bound where the points are set about the great (part) of the arm, and the gussets of mail must be sewed to the doublet at the bend of the arm. The Arming points must be made of fine twine such as men used to make strings for crossbows, and... tied small and pointed as points. They must be waxed with shoe-maker's wax... he shall a pair of hose of worsted cloth, and a pair of short pads of thin blanket to put about his knees to prevent chafing...; also a pair of shoes of thick leather... fastened with small whipcord... and three cords must be fast sewed to the heel of the shoe, and fine cords in the middle of the sole...".
in 1434 John Hill, armouer to Henry VI of England, mentions "hose of cord without vamps... cut the knees and lined with linen cloth on the bias"; and "shoes of red leather thin laced and fretted underneath with whipcord...".
bilden som finns till i boken så sitter brynjan som på denne mannen (dålig bild, men man ser hur brynjan sitter från bröstkorgens början till förbi armvecken)
