Summary:

Male Jerkins, Jackets and Mandillions are largely sleeveless garments worn over a doublet and have been grouped together in this volume while Coats and Cassocks, sleeved garments, also worn over a doublet, are in the next volume.

In this series of books reconstructions are made for a range of styles of each garment. The fabrics and materials closest to the originals still available have been used and all dyeing is with period dyestuffs using period methods, mostly at the reconstructed period dyehouse in the Green Valley.

For each reconstruction patterns are provided. A description of the fabrics used and photographs of the completed reconstructions are also included.
