Established as the firm favourite for weddings, the tailcoat originates from the 19th century. Starting life as a riding jacket, its cut away front edges kept the coat out of the way of the rider’s knees whilst the two buttons at the back enabled him to fasten the tails out of the way when on horseback. In traditional black, navy or modern grey, our collection embraces the heritage of this classic style yet throws in distinctive accessories to bring the look right up to date.
