STREAMLINED COURT SUIT
This man’s court outfit from 1780, embellished ornately with a floral theme, is a typical example of a rococo, French-style suit known as the habit a la Francaise.
Such suits consisted of a coat (habit), waistcoat (vest), and knee breeches, worn with a white shirt, a jabot frill, ruffled cuffs, and silk stockings.
The striking colors, Iavish fabrics, and extravagant embroidery continued a trend for bright colors and decoration from the 1600s.
Characteristic of the pre-French Revolution period, outfits such as these were typically worn by the 18th-century upper-class man.
Suit cloth often came already embroidered — known as a la disposition — prior to being made up.
The slim, fitted cut of this suit is typical of the later 1700s, with its streamlined, unpadded coat and shorter, sleeveless waistcoat.
As the Revolution (1789-99) approached, stripes became popular — this cut-velvet coat is striped with pink.
