Regency Fashion: The Coburg

By | | ,

THE COBURG FOR style and form has strong claims to favour but being rather small in appearance the wearer to show to most advantage should be somewhat slender in his make features not too prominent and in stature about five feet five to five feet ten but neither above nor below One great advantage attending this Hat is that the shape of the wearer's nose is not at all material provided it be not of that class known by the term bottled It may be worn a little aside but by no means placed too far on the head a failing very general among country gen tlemen
