+ description: Gentleman's Day Wear circa 1813
Here is a gentleman prepared for making calls or visiting his clubs in a dark-coloured tailcoat of Bath superfine cloth with pantaloons tucked into his Hessian boots. An intricately-tied neckcloth, a sleek walking stick and a curly-brimmed beaver hat complete his costume. He is carrying a posy of flowers for the lady of his choice. |
