Or would greys have been worn during that era?
Browns, greys, greens, blues, (black very prominent) ....anything you might think a man's coat could be made of. Herringbone, plaid, tweed, twill..... And most inverness's do not have sleeves (that's what the cape is for) but some do..... and the early 19th century "great coat" had capes and sleeves, so you very often see inverness's with sleeves in the theatre..... but a "real" one is sleeveless. -----Original Message----- From: Dawn <[email protected]> To: Historical Costume <[email protected]> Sent: Mon, Mar 22, 2010 12:42 am Subject: Re: [h-cost] dressing Sherlock Holmes [email protected] wrote: > > The classic "Sherlock Holmes" coat of popular imagination is indeed an > > inverness coat. Generally (though not exclusively) made in heavy tweeds. And those would be in browns? Or would greys have been worn during that era?
