Victorian Formal Tailcoat - Black

Originally designed by English country gentlemen to ease horseback riding, the tailcoat was later elevated to fashionable daywear by Beau Brummell and, by the 1860s, became almost exclusively reserved for formal evening occasions. A symbol of refinement and precision tailoring, it remains one of the most iconic silhouettes of 19th-century menswear.

Our reproduction tailcoat reflects the styles commonly worn during the 1860s. It features six decorative front buttons that do not fasten, a sharp peaked lapel, and the classic cutaway front with traditional tails. One interior breast pocket and one exterior breast pocket (left side) provide discreet practicality while preserving the coat’s elegant lines.

Crafted from 100% worsted wool for a smooth drape and structured finish.
