Men’s suit ( habit a la francaise) A narrow stripe pattern of purple and green adds lightness to this heavy-looking uncut velvet fabric. The coat and the white waistcoat are embroidered with the same floral pattern.It may be no exaggeration to say that in the 18th century the beauty of embroidery was effectively used in men’s clothes rather than women’s dresses. Evidence can be found in the formal wear of Académie Française members until now. Especially the coat and the waistcoat of the panoply called “habit à la française” are fully embroidered with golden and silver threads and other multi-colored threads, sequins, and artificial gems.
