The earliest form of today’s three-piece suit appeared in the last quarter of the 17th century: coat, breeches, waistcoat. Men would wear this coat at home as well as outdoors. This 18th-century example is lined with the same purple shot silk, a fabric with an iridescent effect, as the outer material. That is quite unusual. Generally a cheaper fabric would be used to line a coat.
