EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a piece of history in the form of a man's coat or hunting coat from Scotland, specifically Renfrewshire and associated with Johnstone Castle. Dating back to circa 1841-1843, this exquisite garment is made of wool, silk, linen, and silver materials.
The vibrant red or scarlet wool broadcloth, known as hunting pink, is accented by a turned-down collar faced in green wool broadcloth. The double-breasted fastening features silver buttons depicting a slender fox jumping over a thistle, adding an element of Scottish heritage to the design.
With long fitted sleeves and tails, this coat exudes elegance and sophistication typical of 19th-century fashion. It is believed to have been worn by Ludovic Houston or his son George Houston during events such as the Caledonian Hunt.
Displayed at Glasgow Museums in the UK, this piece serves as a reminder of the rich sartorial traditions that have shaped Scottish culture throughout history. The intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail make it not just a garment but also a work of art worth preserving for future generations to admire and appreciate.
