equipage

Fancy coach ensemble

Equipage is a somewhat old-fashioned word for the equipment, furnishings, or outfit needed for a particular purpose or expedition.

It often refers specifically to a horse-drawn carriage together with its horses and attendants, suggesting wealth and elegance: The duchess arrived in her finest equipage.

The word can also extend to any collection of gear or apparatus required for an undertaking, particularly military equipment or the provisions for a journey.
