Incredible piece of women's fashion history; Edwardian era, circa 1900's deep chocolate brown corduroy riding habit coat.

This piece was used for riding horses or bicycles, this piece features the original label by 'Godiva Riding Habits & Skirts, copyright 1908.' Other key features are vegetable ivory buttons up the front as well as internally on the leg loops that would have been fastened around the leg to help coat stay in place while exercising.
