I cannot find an image of a gentleman in breeches and skirted doublet for
about 1560-80.
When in doubt, I check Norris for leads. I know he redraws, but its a
redraw from something original, even if it is partly made up or modified.
In this case, Charles IX by Francois Clouet, 1569.

There are a lot of his images. Go down just a little bit, and images #9 and
#10 should do you right.
Seems that style is not much in fashion at that time, because it was the
only one with such long skirts that I could find. Norris does show a
Scottish nobleman, 1567 with skirts almost as long, but I don't know where
the original image would be located to confirm.
