Pourpoint

The pourpoint (formerly called jack or paltock) was a garment worn by noblemen of the late 14th century in civilian or military situations. It is not to be confused with either a gambeson, an aketon, or a jupon. This garment is known for its wasp waisted and round silhouette achieved thanks to its sewing pattern, its quilting and its "grande assiette" style sleeves.
