  • "Officer" collar on a original civilian vest

    Hello,

    On the web site Mr. Hoover send us yesterday on another thread, I had find that nice silk supposed civilian vest :

    2616
    Brocade Vest
    c. 1855-1860

    http://www.antique-fashion.com/ and after click on the left on «*Gentlemen’s costumes*»

    What I think interesting in it is the fact that it has the so-called officer collar.
    I known «*officers*» collar are appropriate for civilians and soldiers during the very beginning of the 19th century but by the CW era, they are mostly seen on military vests !

    Thank-you Mr. Hoover to share that site I don’t yet know.
