Riding Coat | Unknown | V&A Explore The Collections
Jacket, England, Britain, 1750-1759, Blue Camlet lined with silk. Women’s riding outfits, known as ‘riding habits’, adapted elements of men’s dress. This jacket of the 1750s is styled after a man’s coat, although it has been modified with a waist seam to fit over stays and a wide petticoat. A narrow straight collar attached at the back neck and buttoning in front added protection on chilly rides. The fine tailoring and plain aspect of this jacket is typical of 18thC women’s riding habits.
