A man’s court coat of green silk taffeta, with a 2-inch (5 cm) standing collar 2-piece sleeves ending in cuffs, 3¾ inches (9.4 cm) deep at the front. The fronts curve from neck to hem with pleats 2¾ inches (7 cm) deep, below the hip set beside the centre back. Each front has a pocket and scalloped pocket flap; the centre-back seam is open below the hip. The pockets are lined with unbleached linen, the flaps with ivory silk twill. The coat is embroidered-to-shape with silk floss in shades of pink, green, blue and white in a pattern of roses and tulips, on the collar, cuffs and pocket flaps, around the front neck and pockets, along the fronts, pleats and centre-back opening. The coat was probably worn as theatre costume in the late 19th century. It has been relined with unbleached linen, the pleats stitched down, repairs made to the shoulder seams and back of the collar. The remaining buttons were re-stitched to the coat, 6 on the right front, 2 on each cuff and one at the top of the pleats. Two buttonholes were worked and cut on the left front.
