In the 1890-1900 men would wear frock coats during the day. These coats were knee length and had no grunt cut away. This frock coat could also be called a Prince Albert. During the Edwardian era these coats were worn day to day ad modern lounge suits.

I aquired this photo' from ebay a few years ago.
