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)

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.

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.

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.
