Morning Coat // Jacket
The so-called morning coat can still be found in a gentleman's wardrobe. It can be traced back to the 19th century, it was a derivative of a dress coat converted for horse riding. The straight front edges of the jacket were bent back so that the edges would not hit the rider's knee. The side pockets were removed to accentuate the waist and also the silk upper was left. By the Edwardian era it became a competitor to the more traditional cloak. The famous magazine of the time, The Tailor & Cutter, received it with great applause and called it the "elegant tool" of clothing.
The jacket has remained a popular wear ever since. The classic morning coat, that is, when a black wool jacket and a matching or contrasting vest are associated with a classic combination of striped gray cashmere trousers, was worn for the following events: Parliament opening, royal garden parties, weddings, commemorations and horse races. The so-called morning dress can almost be described as the folk costume of England, as they do not have a formal national dress. The jacket is also associated with public schools at the same time (for example, the Eton College uniform is a version of the jacket) and with the gentlemen sipping champagne at the royal house. Thus, the jacket cannot be clearly paralleled with any part of the social class.
The three-piece gray morning suits have been in vogue since the 1930s and there may be some confusion as to when it is appropriate to wear. Less formal than the black version, it can also be discovered at royal horse races, but can be worn by both the groom and the bride's father.
The current Prince of Wales also likes morning coats He alternately wears a jacket with a black silk ribbon edge and a gray morning coat, both with a double-breasted vest. His hardened collar, tiny knot tie, pocket square and buttonhole are always harmonious, but never too monotonous. Prince Charles combines different textures and colors with ease and confidence.
