"FacebookPinterestSTYLEGUYARCHIVE_Rubric.gif\n\nEveryone wore frocks, huh? Oh, those naughty Eurotrash fellows! Well, I know lots of guys who have a frock in the closet stateside, too, and I loved the Nirvana video in which Kurt and the boys all wore frocks. Hey, mister: A frock is a dress! So I assume you're talking frock coats here, huh? The frock coat, predecessor of the modern suit, is long extinct in America, having lost out to the cutaway coat, which is worn with striped trousers for a morning or afternoon wedding or black for an evening event. And good riddance to them. An Amy Vanderbilt etiquette book I have lying around says it was once customary for the bride's father to wear a frock coat, but \"today [1952] it is more common for him to wear the sleeker cutaway unless he is 'too long in the watch chain' \", i.e., a real porker. Of course, any fine tailor should be able to make a frock coat for you if you must have one. Somebody makes them; I've noticed that several hotels on Central Park South have their doormen fitted out in them. But I like the idea of the men in frocks much better. It would be like an all-girl wedding! May I suggest Lane Bryant, which specializes in fitting big and tall gals."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
