Jas van I.J.A. Gogel c. 1798 - 1814

This is a tan, men's coat, or frock coat, with a high collar, long sleeves, and tails. It is a classic example of early 19th-century men’s fashion, dating from between 1798 and 1814. The coat is likely made of wool and lined with silk or linen. It is a rare and valuable artifact, providing insights into fashion and tailoring during the era of the Napoleonic Wars. Frock coats were popular among men of all social classes, and were often worn with breeches, waistcoats, and cravats. The coat is currently unattributed to a specific artist.
