A morning coat or
cutaway is a man's
coat
worn as the principal item in
morning dress. First appearing as an alternative to the
frock coat, it has become increasingly
rarely worn since the 19th century, and today is normally only seen at weddings,
very formal funerals and, in England, race meetings such as Royal Ascot
and the Derby. Also, the United States Solicitor General typically wears
it when arguing before the United States Supreme Court.
A morning coat is a single-breasted coat, the front parts usually meeting at one button in the middle, and curving away into a pair of tails behind. The lapels are usually peaked, not notched, and there are two buttons in the back of the waist. The coat can be grey, as part of a morning suit, or black, in which case it is usually worn with striped trousers.
