The tailcoat originates from the 19th century. Starting life as a riding jacket, its cut away front edges kept the coat out of the way of the rider's knees whilst the two buttons at the back enabled him to fasten the tails out of the way when on horseback.
The coat has a slope away front with a single button closure and high waistline and comes in traditional black herringbone, suitable for weddings, Ascot and other formal occasions.

Dear Sue & Rupert,
Thank you for my jacket, I received it today, perfect fit, and exactly as it looked in the images. I really like it, indeed it's probably better than I expected plus the service was spot-on. I can see me spending more time & money on your web site!

DELIVERY
The blazer is perfect. However, delivery was very poor. I tracked my order and it was shown as "out for delivery" on Friday. It was not delivered on Friday. Instead, a "delayed" status was shown on tracking. This was still the case the following Monday and Tuesday, though the blazer was finally delivered on Tuesday. Contacting the delivery company on their website was not even answered.

Our Apologies for the delay unfortunately it was out of our hands, the courier company that was at fault usually we don't have any bother with them, this is rare occasion. We have spoken to them.
