Figure 1.-- We note a portrait of Vyvyan in a heavy winter coat. He wears a fany hat with a feather. It looks to be made of buffalo (American bison) or some fabric made to look like it. We note toggels instead of buttons. We are not sure if you describe the style as double-breasted or hussar style. The boys often were dressed alike. We do not know if Cyril had a similar coat.

Oscar Wilde: Children's Clothing --Coats

We note a portrait of Vyvyan in a heavy winter coat. He wears a fany hat with a feather. Note how the cap material matches the coat material. It looks to be made of buffalo (American bison) or some fabric made to look like it. We note toggels instead of buttons. We are not sure if you describe the style as double-breasted or hussar style. The boys often were dressed alike. We do not know if Cyril had a similar coat.
