Coat

American

Not on view

This boy's coat is a handsome example of a child's dressy outer garment to be worn when the child is on display. The garment is in excellent condition and shows very little wear. It is possible that it may have been worn by two children as the skirt was originally two inches longer, which changes the proportion of the cape to the skirt length of the coat. The cord embroidery on the coat is very elaborate and nicely textured.
