Thank you MaggiRos, I really appreciate these images
and where they came from.

I am going to collect as many as I can find, and try
to organize them to time and location, so I can try to
see a pattern, if any.

And the note that it is a jacket is similar to the
thought that the saint was wearing something similar
to a German man's skirted jacket. If there are more
German styles like this, I will be raiding a friend's
collection, as she focuses on German styles.
