Full Front Frockcoat (1850-1880)
The Full Front Frock coat is by far the most popular Men's Civilian Coat.
All coats are made using quality wools and other fabrics, both of which are lighter weight than what is used for our military uniforms.
The full front frockcoat was worn by men of varied social and economic levels: It was the “dressed up” coat for the common man, the “everyday” coat for a gentleman, plantation owner, town mayor or high society person.
The color of the full front frockcoat is attuned to the activity or time of day it was worn. Darker fabrics were reserved for a more formal or somber occasion where lighter colors were for the day and festive occasions.
The pictures shown here are with suggested shirt and cravats all also available here.
