 PAGE'S JACKET. Diagram 99.

Style: Body coat, back finished with point about 3 below waist.

Curved over hips, neck finished with stand collar.

Generally made to button through the fronts with ball buttons placed fairly close together, say fourteen to sixteen.

Sometimes it is made to hook and eye, and three rows of studs, one down centre of front, and one up each forepart.

Body lining padded and stitched.

Inside breast pocket with vertical mouth.

Edges finished plain or piped. Cuffs as Diagram 96, or pointed after style of Diagram 76.

This is a garment that, though it is finished plain, should be made to appear as smart as possible.

THE POSTILLION'S JACKET. Diagram 100.

The style of this garment is a close fitting body, finishing with a belt at the waist.

It is either finished with holes and buttons down the front, or with hooks and eyes and studs.

The back is cut on the crease, and the neck is finished with a stand collar.

Diagram 100 will show its outline, all the points being found as previously described.

Diagram 101 is the belt which is cut about 2 inches wide.

FULL DRESS LIVERY. Diagram 102.

Each livery servant in a titled family has three distinct styles of suits: 1. His working or rough dress. 2. His ordinary dress. 3. His full dress.

Sometimes these are supplemented by Semi-State Dress.

Both the State and the Semi-State styles are cut as Diagram 133.

The coat is a body-fitting style, having back, sidebody, fore-part and skirt.

The fronts are cut away above and below the breast, at which point they fasten with two hooks and eyes.

The dotted outline shows the Coachman's Dress Coat and the solid outline the Footman's. See Diagram 102.

The coat for the latter is cut away much more sharply than for the former.

The collar is usually of the stand type, but sometimes a panteen collar is worn.
