I know from reading that it was not as tightly fitting as the later justacorps, but I'm not sure how loose it really was. I would like a good pictorial reference to use for my figure review.

This typw was only beginning to make an appearance in the late 1670s. It did not become prevalent military wear until the 1680s. Not suitable for the Dutch War, but certainly for the Nine Years War.<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />DanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
