EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this intriguing print of a man in a long carrick coat adorned with five pelerines or capes. In the 19th century, fashion was all about extravagance and this coat is no exception. The garment is described as heavy, awkward, and dragging along the ground like a dressing gown.
The image captures the essence of a bygone era when men would lengthen their coats while shortening their jackets. The sheer excessiveness of the coat is both comical and fascinating, as it sweeps the streets and has to be lifted up like a lady's dress when crossing gutters.
The caption accompanying the photo suggests a simple solution - give the excess material in the coat to the jacket. This humorous take on fashion trends highlights how styles have evolved over time, from elaborate ensembles to more practical and streamlined designs.
Whether you're a history buff or simply appreciate unique sartorial choices, this print is sure to spark conversation and intrigue. Transport yourself to another era with this glimpse into 19th-century fashion eccentricities.
