1) What time period?

2) What class/profession?

3) Geographic region?

Even if you posted this before in another thread, it may have gotten buried and a refresher would help.

While not as well read or experienced as many, knit isn't authentic but worsted is. However, the pattern would probably be much more difficult to cut and wear.

Quality of linen would also probably depend on social standing in your chosen time period, but should be white.

I cannot answer for weight on the linen, our shirts tend to be on the light side. I suppose it would all depend on the climate you are playing in and when you plan on going to events.

One of our members has a very nice heavy wool doublet that he will only be able to wear in the cooler times of the year. To wear it in the summer... well heat stroke comes to mind.

Hope this helps some.

If so then you are probably not going to need to know what weight of wool is needed for the doublet as it will almost certainly be issued (livery) and silk, as would the gown.

As to the cloth for the hose, Jersey isn't a typical cloth. Kersey (in England) is but that isn't the same thing. Kersey: (6d-2s/yd). A fairly heavy medium grade 'national' cloth with twill weave. However other worsteds (again twill) are mentioned frequently, but essentially for the type of person you are intending to portray good quality cloth is the key.

Phillip de Comynes talks about the archers so there may be some descriptions there. Similarly with a bit of digging there ought to be accounts ... I'll try and find the English equivilants.
