Product Information

Of course, there was only one man standing out in full ceremonial splendour on the day, but in a mark of respect for the momentous occasion, the male guests watching King Charles III’s Coronation put their best feet (and suits) forward too.

In 1665, Charles II gave Sir Sampson White, Mayor of Oxford in 1661 and 1665, a cup and cover in recognition of his services (presenting the sovereign with a silver-gilt bowl of wine) at his coronation. The Victoria and Albert Museum recently acquired a cup and cover which commemorates the Coronation of James II. The fashion for Chinoiserie decoration on contemporary silver extended to toilet services and vessels used in the service of wine.The Court of Claims met before the coronation of a new monarch to determine who possessed the right to perform services of honour about the sovereign during the ceremony. Philippa Glanville noted that the chasing technique uses a stabbed line, perhaps influenced by a common printed source. For a slightly lighter navy shade, try this tonal check waistcoat by bastions of high-street suave: Ted Baker. The navy body combined with black buttons mean it will be easy to style on the road, but it will look fantastic paired with the remainder of the suit, too.

One benefit of a morning suit is the fact that it also allows for a hint of cheery colour and jollity, even when the weather isn’t exactly playing ball.Those chosen showed evidence that their claim related to a historic customary service performed at previous Coronations .

The names of 13 individuals and organisations who will play important historic ceremonial roles in the Coronation of Their Majesties The King and The Queen Consort on May 6 have been announced. This bears an inscription attached to the selvedge which reads 'June the 11th 1727 Part of the Canopy held over George II head by one of the free Barons of Sandwich, at his Coronation. by ye Gentlemen whose Names are hereon Inscribed who had ye Honour to be unanimously Elected ye Barons of ye said Town to support ye Canopy over their sacred Royall Majesties King George ye 2nd and Queen Caroline at ye Solemnity of their Inauguration at Westminster the Eleventh day of October 1727. If he wanted to smarten the look up a bit I would recommend he switches to a double-breasted waistcoat.
