It has long been known to the curious, that the cocked hats have been borrowed for the evening... but the high collars, monstrous craws, and clean linen, has, till lately, eluded the vigilance of the box-lobby dissectors; it has, however, recently been proved, that the shirt consist simply of a bib without sleeves, very airy and convenient for an evening's exhibition.'"--British Museum online catalogue
