Usage Examples English
  • In the 1860s, men started wearing wider neckties that were tied in a bow or looped into a loose knot and fastened with a stickpin. Frock coats were shortened to knee-length and were worn for business, while the mid-thigh length sack coat slowly displaced the frock coat for less-formal occasions.
  • Thus was the case with the ceasing of the justacorps, extensively worn from the 1660s until the 1790s, followed by the same fate of the 18th century frock (not to be confused with frock "coat"), in turn followed by the frock coat.
  • The traditional smock-frock is made of heavy linen or wool and varies from thigh-length to mid-calf length.
  • As such, a "frock" remains a dense knitted overgarment worn by sailors and fishermen, as "guernsey frock", "jersey frock" (now usually simply guernsey and jersey).
  • Formal trousers were originally introduced in the first half of the 19th century as a complement to the then widely worn frock coat.
