Clothing of President Abe (Abraham) Lincoln

    President Lincoln Outfit: Although President Lincoln had more than one set of clothes, we offer here the outfit he was most frequently photographed in- the double breasted frockcoat, shawl vest and trousers in black wool. President Lincoln is said to have stated he would wear black until the war was over to mourn for the country.

    Frockcoat: is double breasted with peak lapels and has five buttonholes per side that start near the top of the peak and go to the waistline. A nice quality black wool flannel is standard, with black cotton body lining. A deluxe grade of 16 ounce fine quality wool is available as an up-grade. A black polished cotton lining is used with the deluxe wool option. Buttons are sewn on for you.

    Vest: is single breasted with shawl collar with black cotton back and natural cotton lining. Five buttons close the front and are sewn on. If either the deluxe wool option or black ribbed silk option is chosen, black polished cotton is used on the back to match the coat lining.

    Trousers: are black wool flannel with button fly and side seam pockets. A waistline watch pocket is standard on the right side with a back belt for "fine tuning" the waist size. The deluxe wool is offered as an option in the trousers also. Buttons are sewn on in the double button pattern for our #1907 Suspenders. Made in the USA!
