a new historical kilt question

[tashaar]

How about the coat? Black Inverness? It's a trifle cold outside. He also has white gloves, only because he is (as were many gentlemen of the time) more conventional - not to touch a lady's bare hand at a ball.

And he does have a military background, though he was medical. They do take the hats off when they come inside, correct?

PS: I suppose he's upper middle class, not gentry necessarily, though he is an educated gentleman.

I would imagine a wool Inverness cape would be appropriate.

Bonnets off, always indoors, ESPECIALLY at a formal function.
