Charles, Archduke of Austria, wearing a peascod bellied doublet in 1569

A peascod belly is a type of exaggeratedly padded stomach that was very popular in men's dress in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. The term is thought to have come from "peacock,"[1] or from the form of contemporary plate armour.[2] Sometimes it was called a 'goose belly.'[3]

In the late 16th century the stomach of the doublet was padded to stick out,[4] however, by 1625, the padding had become more evenly distributed over the chest area.[5]
