From the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection: 1830 fashion plate and 1833 fashion plate.

From 1825–40 the waisted appearance of the coat was accentuated and the chest and hips were padded to make this more marked. Corsets were worn by many men to give the desired form. The tails were cut separately from the coat and seamed on, enabling this corseted look to be more clearly delineated.

"And it was then, the tales tell us, that Prince Daemon Targaryen swung a leg over his saddle and leapt from one dragon to the other. In his hand was Dark Sister, the sword of Queen Visenya. As Aemond One-Eye looked up in terror, fumbling with the chains that bound him to his saddle, Daemon ripped off his nephew's helm and drove the sword down into his blind eye, so hard the point came out the back of the young prince's throat." - Fire & Blood
