An arming doublet is a garment worn under armor that both provide padding against blows and attachement points for sections of armor.

They might be made of wool or medieval fustian and were lined with softer materials such as , silk or linen. Sometimes the material would be "cut full of holes" for ventilation. Red was a popular choice for this garment.

Leather was used to reinforce the garment and provide attachgment points for defences to be attached. These defences might include mail voiders which go under plate armour to act protect exposed areas. In the event that the voiders are made separate and removable, they can be easily removed and then cleaned (as can be the doublet) which resulting in large amounts of corrosion of the mail.
