| Banyan, c. 1840s, from The Met.. |
This month's antique garment of choice is an 1840s man's banyan (see also dressing gown, smoking jacket...there's a lot of terms for the group of loose, casual garments worn at home). The mannequin's a bit creepy, but I love the print, the matching trousers, and the excellent tassel on the smoking cap.
