1780's Frock Coat






From the seller:

ANTIQUE REDINGOTE - ca 1790

Changeable silk "gorge de pigeon".
EXEPTIONNAL AND FANTASTIC CONDITION.

Please see other listing.


From Me:

I know, not much to go off of. For a similar cut, check out the fashion plate from 1787 on Mimic of Modes.

You can see the hand stitched collar, and the piecing in the lining of this Frock Coat. It's not a riding coat but probably was some gentleman's Sunday best.
