The King's Redingote

The strictness of the historic military parade tailcoats is broken here through the use of an oil-green washed velvet, embellished with a triumph of floral motifs. The embroidery is meticulously handcrafted through the use of gold-wound thread, gold trim, crystals, and velvet intarsia.

The proportions of this redingote have been designed to stream and define the silhouette through the use of anatomical cuts and the internal construction of horsehair reinforcements entirely stitched by hand. The hand-embroidered epaulettes emphasize the shoulders, while the double-breasted closure with heraldic metal buttons enhances the importance of the bust.
