Coats
There are many (many!) costumers out there who know more about the background
and evolution of these coats then I do. When I have a chance to study
them further, I will be sure to post some erudite comments of my own.
Until that time, please enjoy these gorgeous portraits of 16th century
coats!
I took many of these images from Mistress Oonagh's wonderful site, from
her section "Loose
Gowns." You will find additional images on this site as well.
