My, they look like works of arts, mostly of course because they are works of art. Hollywood-damaged as my mind is, it instantly reminds me of all the gorgeous costumes in the the 1988 "Dangerous Liaisons", with John Malcovich a.k.a. the Vicomte Sébastien de Valmont being both magnificently dressed and a magnificent and complete bastard. Yay for movies (and blogs of course) which are in love with the fine details!

could be worn in any era by the right man (who definitely isn't me).

Pai's remark got me looking for the gender neutral term. Peafowl, peacock, peahen, peachicks.

Gorgeous - there's a French 18C design for just such an embroidered waistcoat from the Waddesdon collections, 1787 attributed to Jean-Francois Bony de Lyon H:\COLLECT\IMAGES\Collection\worksonpaper\1143_a.jpg
