Vintage Smoking Robe - Black with Burgundy Velvet
A Historical Emporium exclusive!Our Vintage Smoking Robe in black and burgundy velvet is the perfect answer in lounge wear for the questioning gentleman. Spend the evening with a snifter of brandy in hand, bantering about reality, existence, knowledge, and other philosophical issues with your cadre of colleagues.While today the smoking jacket is an elegant alternative to a formal tuxedo, in the Victorian era this garment served a much more specific purpose in at-home entertainment. Scrupulously dressed 19th century gentlemen (who literally had a coat for every occasion) would don a soft, often velvet, loose jacket over their clothing as a protective barrier from the odors of their smoking indulgences. Plus, it would provide winter warmth when they were banned to the smoking porch by the ladies! Our more contemporary interpretation of the perennially hip smoking jacket is the longer velvet smoking robe. It features a black velvet body with a rich dark burgundy quilted velvet shawl collar and cuffs. A long single velvet tie keeps this robe closed. Three black velvet trimmed front pockets, two at the waist and one at the breast lined in satin for an opulent touch, offer ample storage for smoking necessities. No interior pockets.Imported. Made from soft velvet fashioned from 80% Polyester and 20% Rayon with a polyester lining. Professionally Dry Clean only. See our Vintage Smoking Collection for different options. Historical Emporium - Authentic Period Clothing for Men and Women. Serving living history, theater, movie and TV production customers since 2003. Five star ratings from thousands of customers. How may we serve you?
