Victorian Formal Tailcoat [000841]

Originally designed by English country gentlemen to make horseback riding easier, the tailcoat was popularized for daywear by Beau Brummel himself. By the 1860's it was used almost exclusively for evening wear.

Our fine tailcoat is made of 100% worsted wool and would do The Beau himself proud. Our version is similar to those commonly in use by the 1860's. It features 6 front buttons that do not close and a peaked lapel. One inside breast pocket and one outside breast pocket, both on the left side. Available in sizes 36-56 including longs.

Shown here with our red Baker City Vest.

Sizing Notes
Our coats are made with typical American sizing, meaning your chest measurement (in inches) is the size you should choose.
To measure your chest: Raise your arms slightly and measure just under your arms. Be sure to cross over the shoulder blades and the fullest part of the chest. If your belly measures larger than your chest, use your belly measurement for coat size.
Longs: If indicated in the selection list (e.g. 46L,) long sizes may also be available. Longs are approximately 2" longer in the back and sleeves.

The coat was shipped very quickly, and is priced fairly based on the exquisite quality of the tailoring. The size is accurate, and the fit is perfect. The satin lapels and satin covered buttons provide great formality, and the coat holds its press perfectly. I've enjoyed a wealth of compliments about my outfit, which includes your Wickham Trousers in gray herringbone, and your Canvas Double Breasted Vest in crimson. The trousers and the vest are of very fine quality as well. I've referred the Historical Emporium name to numerous folks.
