Coat

An item at Metropolitan Museum of Art

This overcoat, which does not follow the bustle silhouette of the period, would have been worn for sporting activities where the popular bustle style would have been difficult to wear, such as shooting and hiking. It is well-made and presents standard construction details which are still in use on the modern overcoat.
