Even though it’s not strictly historically accurate, we couldn’t resist this boldly styled and magnificently appointed regency cut men’s tailcoat in a rich brocade fabric.
This spectacular coat features an extreme split swallow tail patterned after military dress coats of the Napoleonic era. The short jacket features a double row of antiqued silver buttons, and oversized buttoned cuffs, two interior breast pockets, and is fully satin lined for comfort.
USA-made, poly-acetate blend shell and 100% rayon lining. Dry clean only.
Available in sizes S - 2X
Historical notes: while extremely stylish, this garment is anachronistic. Such exaggerated tails would be considered eccentric, only occasionally observed in the early nineteenth century, and the use of embroidered or brocade fabrics in coats was usually reserved for nobility or occasions of state.

Chest size is key for coat fit
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 the larger measure.
Whether you are on an important mission of life and death, or just off to the palace to receive you medal, this tailcoat will have you in the best of company.

The reaction this coat garners is well worth its actual historical rarity. It is a showstopper; you can be assured no one else in the room can outdo you in this garment.
