Narr: Andrew in a Frock coat.
Andrew: this is beaver skin. This is an original collapsible top hat. The pelt won't take collapsing any longer. Beautiful hat, once of the things we have in the collection. Double breasted frock coat. Whoever had this coat loved it dearly, and passed it on. Because it is double breasted it cost a pretty penny in its day. Someone who had this much coin to spend on something using this much fabric that says something.
Josh is wearing a convertible coat. Unbutton the coat, see the lapel. You wear it buttoned up for colder weather, for Sunday best, for funeral or weddings. For your casual wear you wear it like this.
.. this is formal wear from the 1950s it has beautiful embroidery on the lapel. And that's how men's formal wear evolved over sixty years.. not much.
