A Regency gentleman in England, if he was
flush in funds, lived a life of luxury and leisure (if not, he either
brought himself down in society by working, emigrated to America to
start over, or found himself dodging creditors). To keep himself
in shape, he could take up fencing or boxing or could take up the reins
and race horses or coaches. Evenings were spent at parties or at
the card table or flirting with the ladies. Society was strictly
regimented and most knew their place in the scheme of things, but there
were many examples of tradesmen and factory owners who jumped the
fences between the working men and the gentry. If a common man
made his fortune and craved a higher place in society, he mgiht marry
off a daughter or a son into a family of the gentry, or he might, if
cost was no object, purchase a title from an impoverished landed
family. #V141 Costume suit consists of jacket, skirted frock coat, breeches, and coordinating vest.
