Edwardian British Riding Ensemble, early 20th century – Black Wool Jacket, Skirt & Full Accessory Set
Construction & Materials
This early 20th‑century British riding ensemble presents a rare opportunity to acquire a complete antique equestrian outfit consisting of a black wool jacket, a matching skirt, and historically accurate accessories including an antique riding hat, antique riding crop, blouse, and period antique button boots.
The jacket is tailored in soft black wool with pleated shoulders, long sleeves, and an elegant asymmetrical front where the right side overlaps via a shaped fabric panel. The interior lining is in good order, with expected wear to the neckline and a loose seam at the collar, typical for garments of this age. The wool itself shows no holes or overall wear, making the piece exceptionally well preserved for collectors of antique riding clothing and Edwardian equestrian fashion.
The skirt shows some damage at the top, but the wool remains structurally sound. The ensemble closes with plain early‑20th‑century buttons, and the entire set is free from odour, retaining the authentic character of British equestrian attire from the period.
Historical Context & Fashion Significance
Together with the antique riding hat, whip, blouse, and button boots, this is a complete historic riding ensemble — a rare find for collectors, museums, and enthusiasts of vintage equestrian wear, Edwardian fashion, and antique clothing. Complete sets of equestrian attire from this period seldom survive intact, making this example particularly desirable.
