1760's Men's Frockcoat and Waistcoat










From the seller:

ANTIQUE COAT AND WAISTCOAT, ca.1785.

It's pale green satin (like pale blue, difficult to photograph)

SOLD AS IS :
All the buttons are on the coat (see pictures)
2 buttons loss on the waistcoat.

The satin is in good condition but all the 2 pieces are with spots here and there.


This suit is perfect for pattern.
The buttons are very interesting.


On Aug-25-14 at 23:25:20 PDT, seller added the following information:
I added 2 picture of the lining.
The coat and the waistcoat are lined with silk and "wool".
On the last picture you can imagine the color of the suit.

I repeat that this suit is very interesting for buttons. He have spots, stains and other.
SOLD AS IS.


From Me:

I kept staring at this and thinking "I really don't think it's 1780's". I couldn't figure out why (men's clothing sometimes confuses me) until I found a similar outfit at the Met. That would explain it. So 1760's.
