thegentlemanscloset:And here we have a reproduction of an 18th century banyan/house robe worn by Mark Hutter, the tailor for Colonial Williamsburg. This is more loose and flowing than a banyan, as befitting the style of a house robe. The coat flares a bit at the waist to accentuate the stripes.Note how even at home at his desk, he’s still fully dressed with waistcoat, breeches, shirt, stockings, and night cap. Read more about it in this post from the Two Nerdy History Girls. -- source link
