Planche 2, Cabinet des Modes, May 15th 1786, Bibliothèque Nationale Française.

We already looked at the female look for this Cabinet des Modes edition, here we have the male, which I LOVE, because late 18th century menswear is just *chef kiss*. The description is a little shorter than the one for the woman, but here we are in my loose and shortened rough translation:

Plate 2 The coat and waistcoat of the man shown in this plate, are made of spring velvet in a lemon green background with green stripes and lilac spots. The buttons that decorate the coat and waistcoat are enameled and speckled in a contrasting colour. The breeches are made of black liver cloth and the fit is snug/tight. The stockings are white and the shoes have red heels (this fashion is not for everyone) (...). The man wears a white plumed hat on his arms, and lace ruffle on his wrists. He has his left hand in his waistcoat pocket, and his right in his coat pocket.

"Cardinal" Cape, American, last 3rd of 18th century, wool

"The hooded cape is a variant of the capuchin, or monk’s habit. It is gathered in a circular shape at the back to stand high without crushing the mobcap or coiffure underneath."

Peshwaz, late 18th century to early 19th century, India

Fine muslin ground with decoration in applied tinsel, spangles and foil. The peshwaz was made for a small wearer. The bodice portion is heavily embellished with wide bands of decoration around the sleeves, neck, hem, front-opening, and down the middle of the ground panels. The bands are made of silver-gilt, bordered by strips of green foil, with rows of blossoms in red foil and sequins. The same style of bands decorate the edges and hems of the skirt panels, and the wrists of the sleeves. The main ground of the sleeves and skirt is embellished with a motif of silver-gilt strip couched into four-petal blossoms, regularly divided by serrated rows of silver-gilt foil. A deep striped trim lines the inside bottom hem of the skirt.
