@clairekope @TriumphantBass @Mosin_Naahgant yup, exactly right. basically all double breasted coats owe their origin to these Georgian coats. eventually the style assumed you'd wear it closed with just the lapels showing and made them that way, and the button-back-on-the-flaps style went away. Time for a comeback!

@clairekope @TriumphantBass @Mosin_Naahgant ok I'm back after too long, and I couldn't find any pictures of the same coat buttoned and unbuttoned, but on this one you can see the lapel decoration. That could be buttoned down to the rows of buttons on either side, or (as here) buttoned like a double breasted coat

@clairekope @TriumphantBass @Mosin_Naahgant Yep, they're likely the same coat! Those open lapels were common in the 1780s or so, and you can see a change in style going for more of that closed, double-breasted look around the 1790s. I'll see if I can find some images to show but at a glance, yeah they're the same coat

are you into airy phantasms?

New episode out! I know it's hard to imagine intense religious strife infecting the politics and economics of a decaying empire to the point of driving men to violence, but give this episode a shot anyway. Jokes aside, I think it's one of our best.

One of my favorite pieces of art connected to Götz von Berlichingen: the Battle in the Forest, painted in 1502, depicts the battle between Margrave Friedrich von Brandenberg and the forces of Nuremberg

@tony_the_scribe So I play a game called Grand Tactician: Civil War and among its many charms is the ability for me to go out and slaughter slavers by the tens of thousands at a time. It's also a rare ACW game that even acknowledges slavery as a cause and political element of the war, would recc
