I found this picture from the Metropolitan Museum of art entitled " Addressing Art". What i found striking about this attire was its elaborate knitting and detail. According to the article "wool became symbolic of British civility and freedom and was adopted as a fashionable fabric". The coat can be dated back to the 17th Century which insinuates from its elaborate detail that it was worn by a king who held power and prestige within his kingdomship, an attire like this emphasizes political status.
