Medieval Suede Leather Jerkin – ‘Adrián’ Sleeveless Renaissance Doublet

Description

The ‘Adrián’ Suede Leather Jerkin is a piece that brings together history, fantasy, and timeless style. Inspired by the 16th-century jerkin, this sleeveless doublet was worn by soldiers, nobles, and travelers as a practical outer layer that offered both protection and elegance.

This modern version keeps that tradition alive. Handcrafted from 3–3.2 mm thick suede leather, it is soft to the touch yet strong enough for regular wear. The suede naturally develops character over time, giving it a rich, aged look with continued use.

The jerkin closes at the front with five leather straps and brass buckles, all functional and historically styled. Side lacing allows further adjustment for the perfect fit, whether you’re wearing it over a shirt, padded gambeson, or on its own. The long flared hem adds coverage and a bold, dramatic finish, making it perfect for battle, performance, or costume wear.

It’s a versatile piece you can style in many ways:

• Wear it over a linen shirt for the look of a noble traveler.

• Layer it over a gambeson for a soldier or mercenary outfit.

• Use it alone as the gear of a ranger, archer, or LARP character.

No matter how you wear it, the ‘Adrián’ Jerkin adds authentic character and presence to your medieval or fantasy look.

Care Instructions

• Brush with a suede brush to keep the texture fresh.

• Spot clean with a damp cloth; do not soak or machine wash.

• Use suede protector spray now and then to resist stains and moisture.

• Store in a cool, dry place away from heat or sunlight.

• Hang to keep its shape.

Note

• Made from real suede, so slight variations in shade, stitching, or texture are natural and part of its charm.

• With wear, the suede will soften and darken, giving it a true aged medieval appearance.
