Description
5 1/2" shoulder width. 13" overall length. Of a very fine quality wool flannel,the taupe-colored coat has flared sides with overcast stitching in the manner of a quality tailor. Wide coat sleeves are curved at the wrists,and the 8"l. cape has dart-shaping at the shoulders and a graceful curved shape that corresponds exactly to the sleeve shape. The cape is s-curved at the back and the curve is mimicked by the five curved ribbon stripes that extend around the entire collar,and along the sleeves. The fine fabric and workmanship suggest production by a fine tailor. Circa 1890.
