Half-chevalier collar (12.5 cm wide) with a steel hook at the base of the collar, a white cloth tab is sewn at each end of the collar forming a buttonhole with a wood button covered in white cloth, allowing the collar to be closed when worn upright, height of each tab 6 cm, width 8 cm.

The back of the coat under the round is dated 1862 in black ink (now turned brown) by two stamps "62," "1862."

France.
Second Empire.
Good to very good condition, some moth holes and repairs mainly at the back, period repair with a patch (height 10 cm x 16 cm) on the coat at the level of the right arm.
Note: given the rarity and type of garment effect, we can consider this coat to be in very good condition.
NOTE:
This coat model has hardly changed since 1828. In 1845, the length of the round was increased by 40 mm; vertical pocket tabs close with one button instead of two, and a sixth buttonhole is made on each front, in order to fasten the coat tails to the pocket buttons when the man is on foot.
