smoking jackets
Velvet evening wear
A smoking jacket is a comfortable jacket, often of velvet or silk, worn by men at home in the 19th and early 20th centuries—originally to protect clothing from tobacco smoke and ash.
The garment evokes old-money leisure and gentlemen's clubs.
Today it appears mostly at costume parties or as an ironic affectation: He greeted guests in a burgundy smoking jacket, martini in hand.
