Historical Emporium Men's Traditional Cutaway Morning Coat - Victorian Style Formal Tailcoat for Weddings, Reenactments & Historical Events

The cutaway morning coat began in use in the early 1800s strictly as a coat for a gentleman's morning ride. But over the course of the century, the coat grew in popularity for daytime use and eventually supplanted the frock coat as the fashion of the day. Now used for very formal events, they are often seen being worn by the British aristocracy and other nobby gents.Our version has peak lapels with one exterior breast pocket and one button to secure the front of the coat. Two interior breast pockets offer a place to hold a gentleman's necessities. The back features two matching buttons while the tails have a single vent.Fashioned from a blend of 72% cotton, 20% polyester and 8% rayon.Imported. Dry Clean Only.
