Details: This jacket is so extremely rare! It is rare to find a piece of such esteem offered to the open market. This jacket dates to the 1820’s and is truly a piece owned by the dapper dandy of the day. 

The jacket is made of a fine white cotton which has a darker pin striping throughout. The pattern is greatly faded with age and the truest color is evident only beneath its arms. Needless to say, the jacket is completely hand stitched throughout and is double breasted in fashion and is able to close both ways. Ornate gold buttons enclose its front and each is embossed on its rear reading Extra Colour. The collar of the jacket stands high and full in its rear with a V split in each lapel. 

   The interior front as well as a band running across the top back is fully reinforced with self fabric. Hand written in the lining reads the name of the owner Geo A Robinson. Each cuff of the arms is trimmed with similar but different gold buttons, which are star in pattern and read Rich Corange, one of which is missing. The seams of the cuffs and arms at the elbow show minor fray with a fingertip of hole of wear on the right elbow. A small yellow stain area is on the right hip but the condition is otherwise excellent. One button on its front has been replaced and another button which falls beneath the lapel is absent. 

Measures 40 inches around its chest, 34 inches around its waist, 17 ½ inches across its shoulders, and 17 inches in its length. Truly a piece of distinction, certain to be the highlight of a collection
