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.

Looks really good, but will it wash?
[17052010] The suit looks really good, but the label says dry clean only. I'm concerned that although it is advertised as wash and wear something horrid will happen to it when I do wash it. So fingers crossed for the moment. I won't get to wear it for a few weeks, but I will post further feedback on whether it survives the first wash when I reach that point.
Mr Cooper - 17th May
Well spotted, we have checked with the manufacturer this is defiantly washable, it seems there is a content labelling problem that they didn't pick up on.
