I love red coats, from the British military to band uniforms and 18th century wool frocks. I especially love traditional and classic red hunting coats. I know hunters plaid is all the rage but may I suggest a return to this classic deign? hint hint Cate Blanchett in the recent Vanity Fair...

I love this post! That Annie Liebovitz pic is insane. I read that the dogs destroyed the room. Like they chewed threw the table the guy was sitting on. Haha - anything for the sake of art!

*Love* that East Hamptons coat! In boarding school we wore full Highland dress on many an occasion, which included a military red coat . . .
This post reminds me of a "blue" exhibit I saw at a Concord, MA, museum.
what a great post! I grew up in Virginia Hunt Country, so I am familiar... :)
beautiful!
The red coats are awesome and I love any Tim Walker photo - have you seen his Dress Lamp Tree?
What a truly amazing collection of images. I love how you draw a thread through such disparate but similar things.
