A drummer doublet is a historical garment typically worn by drummers in military or ceremonial settings. It is a close-fitting, waist-length jacket with a buttoned front, often featuring decorative elements such as piping or embroidery. The doublet usually has a high collar and is made from durable fabrics like wool or linen. In the 17th and 18th centuries, drummers wore them as part of their uniforms, often adorned with distinctive colors or patterns to indicate rank or affiliation. The doublet allowed for freedom of movement, necessary for drumming. It’s often paired with other uniform elements like breeches and hats. Today, drummer doublets are sometimes seen in historical reenactments or as part of vintage-inspired fashion.
