- Titled men - continentals
- Beribboned - riband - is the 4 inch sash work by members of various orders - so are they ribanded - too obscure?
- Pomade -macassar oil used more in this period - where we get the anti macassars used on furniture to stop oil staining furniture
- Pomade maybe a better known word
- Prussian officer uniform - collars don't button - the collar butts together and there is a hook to ensure a tight fit
- There are two photos of a Prussian officer uniform
- Early 1870's dinner jacket on an american - 1886 dinner jacket introduced by prince to Americans (James brown potter in tuxedo park) - so him wearing totally correct for nouveau riche / not aristocratic de rigour but it is a bit early for wearing it - might be fine to let it slide
- The tailors for the first dinner jacket - Henry Poole and company, Saville row tailors
- Weird trivia - tail coat attire also sometimes called toga virilis - dress of man hood
