The broadcloth is of a quality woven in different places in Europe - in the Netherlands in Leiden; in France, in Abbeville, Elfbeuf, Louviers, or Sedan; in England in the West Country and Yorkshire. It is a high quality fulled cloth, probably made from merino wool imported from Spain. The colour may have been achieved by one of a number of dyeing methods, probably using cochineal.
The buttons are very similar to those illustrated in Diderot's Encylopédie in the section on the button and braidmaker (boutonnier/passementier), plate VI, figs. 1, 2, 3, 4.
The cut of both coat and waistcoat conforms closely to the patterns illustrated in Diderot's Encyclopédie in the section on the tailor (tailleur d'habits), plates V-VII.
