Riding Coat of Ernst Casimir I, anonymous, in or before 1632 Equestrian of gray wool with standing board and shoulder valves, decorated with buttons and button holes of metal wire, probably worn by Ernst Casimir during the siege of Roermond. Model: Very loose -fitting jacket, which can be worn as a cape or as a coat with wide sleeves. The jacket consists of two front, two rear and two side buildings, all - with the exception of the back properties - closing with buttons and button holes. The closure in the middle front has 52 buttonholes, which in the side seams 40. The button holes are founded with linen or cotton. Under the buttons there is a siege of coarse woven linen, while an extra siege of roughly woven linen has been applied to the button holes. All buildings are cut around the hem. The jacket is - entirely according to the then fashion - on the chest to the sleeve holes, closely cut and from there sliced out. The material is a very densely woven woolen fabric in rip binding; All buildings are cut in the walking direction. The dust width (max. cm) was not sufficient for the wide -flared sleeves, because there is a small key of the same fabric at the front at the Zoom. The standing board has been restored in the past and no longer in its original condition. Lining of fairly coarse, double -sided riding woolen fabric in linen binding. The lining material has all kinds of irregular small holes. According to the restoration report of Karin van Nes from 1979, the lining fabric was vaalgroen and originally light green. The jacket and lining once have been wet in the past so that the lining has shrunk to the jacket. Decoration: The shoulder valves consist of ten double -beaten fabrics parts, which are connected to each other by means of three flat cords of braided metal wire. These loose 'valves' are reinforced with a black, coarse and impregnated fabric and partially lined with wool. The buttonholes are decorated at the ends with a cord of twisted metal wire
