Driving Overcoat.—This is a box-coat cut long or short. Double or single-breasted. The color should be light, as it will not show dust.
Heavy material is used for winter and light for summer driving.
The Riding Top-coat.—This is a short English box-coat. The material is soft and of medium weight. The color may be light or dark.
The Raglan.—“Lord Chumly,” Inverness, or sleeveless, greatcoat for evening wear.
This is the only greatcoat to wear over evening dress.
It is always black, and with a large, full-length cape.
There are no sleeves, the cape covering the arms completely.
This is the perfect greatcoat to wear over evening dress, as removing and placing on can be accomplished without disturbing in any way the dress.
This greatcoat makes up for the ugliness of the day overcoats in the graceful appearance it gives the wearer.
