thegentlemanscloset:Men’s coat circa 1787-1792. Wool. French in style. I like this coat because it’s an example of a coat in mid shift from the styles of the 1760s & 1770s and the coat styles with the cutback waists that would appear in the early 19th century. In the collection of the Met. I also like the bright orange buttons. The pieces in the top figure aren’t original with the coat, but they are contemporary to the time period and also show the changing fashions. -- source link
