‘Nineteenth-century prints show Brummell in very fitted riding coats with tails. The coat cuts away to reveal his pelvis and thighs. Brummell wore long pants when knee-length breeches were still considered the fashion and he was responsible in part for the trend towards ultra-tight pants in the early 1800s. When it passed, one female fan of Brummellian tightness bemoaned, “At least we always knew what a man was thinking.”‘
