frock coats

Knee-length suit jackets

Frock coats are formal men's coats with knee-length skirts, fitted at the waist and typically double-breasted.

They were standard formal daywear in the 19th century, worn by businessmen, politicians, and gentlemen.

The style survives mainly in period dramas and historical reenactments: Lincoln is often depicted in his signature frock coat.
