mimic-of-modes:Young Officer in a Zebra Coat, calling someone to give an account of his services. - Galerie des Modes, 61e Cahier, 5e FigureThis is probably my favorite fashion plate in the history of fashion plates(even though the breeches are pink). This fabulous gentleman was the inspiration for my stripey stockings, and I hope to make a coat like this one someday. I have no idea why they called it a “zebra coat” though. It doesn’t look anything like a zebra. -- source link
