47 Coat
Very strong and coarse jute or hemp plain weave fabric, which is usually tarred and used on ships. ———————— The garment so called at present was not seen in its original shape previous to the second half of the 17th century, but the word was applied to articles of costume for both sexes both here and on the Continent as early as the 13th century. About this time the " Cote " in France was a close body-garment, over which, as its name implies, the " Surcote " was worn at pleasure, in or out of doors. Henry VIII wore long coats, demi coats, short coats, riding coats, coats with shirts, with loose sleeves and without any-Most of these coats were composed of bright coloured materials, cloth of gold and damask silver, striped with purple velvet, white satin, purple and black velvet.

During the reigns of James II and William III the coat only altered in having sleeves looser, longer, and with heavy cuffs. -
