Frockcoats come in black and Lincoln green. Frockcoats are a variation of the morning coat and have a square front whereas a morning coat has a sweeping cutaway front. These are worn with stripe trousers and a stripe waistcoat is optional. Our frockcoats have silk faced lapels and, because they are worn open, a silk toggle to fasten the front.
