This black tailcoat is made from flock fabric, giving a soft, textured finish, and cut in a vintage Victorian shape for gothic and steampunk costume wear. The fitted bodice, tail-cut hem and classic black colourway make it a versatile choice for conventions, cosplay and gothic events, working equally well as a standalone jacket or layered over a corset or blouse. As a fabric coat rather than leather, it's lighter to wear across a full day of standing, walking or dancing at an event. The flock texture gives visual depth similar to velvet while staying breathable. Fit is close through the waist and bust, so please check our size guide before ordering. Its classic black colourway also makes it easy to pair with different accessories, from a top hat to goggles or a corset belt. Made to measure is available for a more tailored, personal fit.
