You sure it wasn't a camel Cromby or a rain coat? The only frock coats I've seen are on Goths and Teds.I have just seen one of the most well dressed elderly gentlmens today near Piccadilly in London. He cam up from the Underground Station wearing a dark tan Frock Coat with black silk facing and matching bowler hat (never seen one in other colours then black), with a large red carnation on the lapel buttonhole, some sort of dark brown striped trousers and brown captoes oxfords shoes, all completed with a nice wood handled unbrella. The coat had the most stricking cut and was fitting him prefectly all buttoned up, and must have been bespoke.
Nobody gave him a second look (aside of me that was admiring the outfit)

Could someone explain a Frock coat? Google images shows many different photos.

Most of the Wikipedia article on frock coats is written by Sator, who occasionally posts here and possibly knows more about frock coats than anyone else on earth.

I see in the modern use section, it's primarily about military, Orthodox Jews and Teddy Boys. The rest appears to be 19th century.
