Description |
Man's dress coat. Early period. This is a black cloth coat with a notched lapel and a major seam running around its waist. There are three cloth covered buttons in the front, two on each cuff, and two in the back. Rising up from the buttons in the back are three seams, which reach to either shoulder and the collar. An extra buttonhole is in the lapel, likely for ornamental purposes (such as holding a flower). Below the waist seam, a tail of moderate length extends in two main panels. |
