In my search for a Regency tailcoat for this year's ball, I've come upon this:

I'm looking at the RB5033 or the RB584A and have emailed them about sizing pour moi. Ah, the hemming and hawing, and color issues as well. But other recent coat issues aside, this is one that has to be dealt with on a timeline, so hopefully this will sort out as an option.

Yeah, and a bit part of my regency obsession is that the whole neck cloth thing makes me swoon. I'm also ridiculously long necked, so I won't actually look like I'm drowning in something like that. The feeling that I can't really turn my head is another problem entirely.

Yeah, the neckcloth thing is crazy sexy, and I don't know why.

I've got a ridiculously long neck, but a tendency to slump it, so the Regency neckcloth would either be great or terrible on me. (Ah, the scars of our teenage years.)

And now you've got me wondering if a tailcoat-without-tails in wheelchair would be such a bad thing. Hmm. Stuff that draws attention up to the face is very useful in the chair... hmm.

Not that I can dance in a wheelchair either, but I could be the interestingly wounded soldier from the Napoleonic campaigns...
