has gloss | eng: The Ulster was originally a Victorian working daytime overcoat, with a cape and sleeves. It is often seen in period productions of Victorian novels, such as those of Charles Dickens. Often made of hard-wearing fabrics, such as herringbones or tweeds, it was not a formal coat at the time, though in the twenty-first century a cape would be seen as such. After the Edwardian period, it lost its cape, and continued to be used as a heavy-duty overcoat, often in a double-breasted style. |
