]]> Silk hampers with grey warp-flowing floats and zigzag and scroll decoration. Short to the waist, it is made from four panels: two at the front and two at the back. The front panels have a deep peak which is closed with 25 buttonholes corresponding to the buttons with a wooden core and lined with a small cord forming a taffeta weave. The doublet was a close-fitting garment, basically for men, which covered the trunk of the body, usually with skirts. It could be sleeveless, or have fixed or replacement sleeves. It was usually padded with bird feathers, cotton or layers of fabric and was worn with tights. It is a garment that forms part of some folk costumes in various countries and regions.

]]> Three-piece costume ensemble consisting of an outer coat, a half-jacket and breeches made of blue damask with a moiré effect. The jacket is made of silver tissue with coloured silks, together with a decoration of floral motifs, and fastens with buttons covered with a metal sheet. The pleats on the side are typical of mid-18th-century men’s costume. Moreover, the coat is always open, revealing the inner coat with the shortest skirts. It may have been buttoned up to the waist until 1750 in order to show off the inner lace of the shirt.

]]> The image shows the clothing of the Moors of Granada around the 16th century, portrayed by Jean Jacques Boissard in his book ‘Recueil de costumes étrangers’ (1528-1602). It depicts characteristic elements of Moorish dress, such as the sabanilla with a bun on the head, the shirt, the overcoat and the trabaq, which were the ‘Moorish tights’ or ‘calzas moriscos’ (Moorish tights). There is also a figure wearing Moorish underwear (second figure from the left), consisting of the characteristic zaragüelles or wide breeches with many pleats
