Smoking Jackets

So what is the smoking jacket anyway? It's a classic jacket or robe that originated in the Victorian Period. Those that smoked would wear a smoking jacket and possibly a cap to protect their clothing and hair from the smell of smoke. The fabric was light, often made of silk. The silk was light enough to absorb very little smoke. So if you wore a wool or cotton jacket believing that it would provide the same sort of protection, it would probably be a little while before the garment or jacket would air out. I found some really neat places where they have some esquisite jackets.
