Perhaps because he spent most of his time in uniform the dress of this dutiful king receives rather less attention that that of his elder brother. However, there are one or two photographs that show him looking well turned out in civvies. See below for a very elegant overcoat; go down the page for a link to a photograph of HM in a casual looking suit with what appears to be DoW two-button stance. Who was the tailor I wonder?
