Follow-up of the last: franc archer ("franc arbalétrier" [crossbowman] in this case) in gear, from a rich or generous commune, usually affording brigandines.
Only missing is the hoqueton or livery jacket that would cover the brigandine and display the arms of the company.

Franc archer undressed. Armed, he would put on a brigandine, brigandine guardbraces (shoulder armour), the other elbow guard, and a sallet.
Then of course the belt for dagger and sword; and the belt for arrow/bolt case, or gauntlets if he is a vougier or pikeman.

Little doodle of a bowman franc-archer with the ~1466 memorandum specifications.
Asides from the accurately-described jack, of 25 to 30 layers and an optional deerskin; these guys carried bow and arrows in their bag, dagger, a short sword and an optional buckler. Their sallet was to be visorless.
