One of my favorite vintage finds was this late 1800s Men's Frock Coat made by Ward Stilson Company. According to this article, http://www.heraldbulletin.com/peopleandplaces/x2117290144/Ward-Stilson-Co-bloomed-after-move-to-city, the company was founded in Ohio and later split and moved to Indiana.

What I find so impressive about this piece is that the embroidery all over the coat, makes for an amazing ornate design. This is the ideal Saint Patrick's Day celebration garb.
