I am selling a grey wool doublet, sz small. Pardon the dorm room pictures:

It is size small from Simplicity Pattern 4059. The fabric is wool. It was wool I inherited but it burns so I think it's 100%. The lining is 100% linen, black. The lacing is braided waxed leather, but can obviously be changed for other laces if you have others you prefer. The eyelet holes are hand stitched, not metal grommets. The doublet is well constructed and unblemished, but I'm selling it because it makes me look like a conquistador, as you can see in this action shot:

(To those skilled artisans who might reply, I should let you know I have since altered the pattern to raise the waistline and fit in more in line with my body shape. This doublet was my first try).
The only thing about this that might be less than 100% perfect is that, as you can see in the picture, there is a gap between the peplums in the center bcak.
Interested? I'm asking $20 OBO, plus shipping. I will not be able to bring it to any events any time soon, but I will ship to you via whichever method you prefer to pay for. Paypal preferred but money orders accepted if anyone is not yet on the paypal wagon.
PM me if interested or with questions.
