What is the name for the type of jacket Victor Van Dort wears in the Corpse Bride?
I've been searching the internet for a couple hours now trying to figure this out and all I've found out is that it is a form-fitting Victorian jacket, but I need more than that because I want to be able to search for one and purchase it. Any help would be greatly appreciated =]
The movie seems to take place during the Victorian era - 1837-1901 - but I would place the movie at about 1880, so it would be a Victorian Era Frock Coat and Vest Suit. Picks about mid way down the link page.

what did victorian men wear in the rain?
you see victorian movies and all the men are dressed in formal clothing like nice top hats, black jackets/trousers and very very smart
Did they have raincoats or hoodies in victorian times like people wear in the rain nowadays? Everyone seems to dress too casual and don't take effort in their appearance anymore.
By the mid victorian era waterproof clothing was available, but still expensive. It was heavy and did not breathe very well which meant that the styles tended to be layered to allow hot air to escape.
From ancient times europeans used oiled leather, silk and canvass for bad weather gear. All these things have one thing in common - they sucked at keeping you dry, were heavy and the waterproofing had to be constantly renewed.
In the 1820's a Scottish bloke, Macintosh, dissolved rubber in gas works solvent (Naptha) which made a form of waterproof fabric. In the UK a raincoat is still called a Mac or Mackintosh.
This clothing was still only so/so, and stank of chemicals. In cold weather it cracked and in hot weather it stuck to things. The modern forms of waterproof clothing came from the U.S.
In the 1840's an American, Charles Goodyear (the tyre bloke) invented a process to make rubber much more flexible. This was used in Mackintosh's layered fabric to create the first really effective waterproofing. As an aside, Goodyear did not take out his european patents in time and got screwed out of his invention.
Various combinations of rubber and wool coats, capes and hats were used to keep out the appalling english climate (Think sherlock holmes)
can anyone help me find a certain painting?
I need help finding a painting that I've seen quite a few times. It consists of a man in a library standing on a ladder. He is looking in a book and also has several other books under his arm and inbetween his knees. His attire is froma rooudn the victorian era, I would guess: black jacket with tails and slacks. I believe the artist's last name ended with berger or burg. Could anyone identify this?

Not just any old oil painting, I'm talking a Victorian era-esque painting, preferably with me in a smoking jacket and pipe in hand. Any websites offer that?
