Dear Cin,
I have a catalog from Royal Armory in Stockholm. The swedes has great
doublets from the time all very nicely preserved.
I also have the fine book the museum published "Fashion Lions" about the
mens fashion.
The doublets all have 2 piece sleaves. The back seam is not finished, but
opened about 5-10 cm. Then they used to (in come cases) turn back the
sleave, so that it would make a cuff in itself. But when worn with white
linnen cuffs, i suppose they were just pinned together with the cuffs. No
buttons, no buttonholes - nothing
So my guess is that they pinned the sleaves together at the wrist!
Does this make sence?
Bjarne
