The artist hasn’t listed its size yet, so pinch to scale it once it’s on your wall.
A formal, knee-length, black wool coat featuring a tight waist, a double-breasted button closure, and wide silk-faced lapels. It was strictly paired with light-patterned trousers, a stiff silk top hat, and a starched cravat. The universal uniform of the respectable upper and middle-class professionals, used to project sobriety, authority, and financial stability in the business world.
