Civilian Frock Coat

This coat first appeared about 1816. Probably of military origin. Body was always fitted, skirts hung strait down from waist center front. First worn as undress, but by 1850 used for formal wear when it replaced the Tails Coat as the dress coat.     The versatile Full Front Frockcoat comes with a standard length skirt. Skirt can be made shorter for less formal occasions. Coat can be ordered with matching collar or velvet can be used in a harmonizing color scheme to the collar alone or to both the collar and cuffs (as shown). It has an inside left breast pocket and two exterior pockets can be added at the waistline for a dashing effect, especially if the velvet trim is ordered. Cloth covered buttons are supplied, but not sewn on. Proper shirt for this coat is the Pleated Front Dress Shirt for dress occasions and the Bleached White Muslin shirt for everyday use.     The Full Front Frockcoat was the "dressed up" coat for the common man, while the well-to-do gentleman would have worn this as his "everyday" coat. It is best to suit the elegance of the clothing to the impression that you wish to portray.     Our civilian frockcoat is made from quality lighter weight woolens than our military frockcoat. Frock Coats (1850 On) Victorian, Civil War and Old West Cadet Grey Chestnut Forest Green Tan Natural Wooljean  (1850 On) Victorian Civil War, & Old West 1800-1830 1830-1850 Dickens & more Black Grey Double Breasted Burgundy Double Breasted Color representations are not exact, they are affected by camera exposure, image software and monitors.     Periods: The style of these coats changed over time, mostly in the collar, sleeve and body fit.        1800/1816-1830: This has the stand and fall collar, it is cut narrower across the shoulders, a smaller sleeve hole, a more of a tubular sleeve and a more tailored body. When made correctly it is much less comfortable than the 1830 and later coats. We currently do not offer this period of coat. If you are interested, call is to talk about it.        1830-1850 (Dickens and more): This has the rise and fall collar, it is cut narrower across the shoulders, a smaller sleeve hole, a more of a tubular sleeve and a more tailored body. When made correctly it is much less comfortable than the 1850 and later coats. Because most people do not like the true period cut/fit, we modify it somewhat in the body, shoulder and sleeve hole fit to make it more acceptable to modern taste. It is in between the Civil War fit and the correct earlier fit.        1850 On (Victorian: Civil War / Old West): This is our standard coat. There were style changes to this coat over time, mostly in the collar and lapels. Sometimes there were wide collars and sometimes narrow collars. We cannot cater to the various changes, so we only make the version shown. It has a somewhat wide collar and is most appropriate for 1850 through 1900.     Material and Color Samples Page.     Measurement Chart: Click Here.     Custom made item, please allow 8 - 10 weeks for delivery.
